07/13/2026 Actively nursing litter - limited evaluation at this time Dog displayed sociability by coming over for affection with a low wagging tail, tucked ears, and loose body.

Did not view guarding nor barrier reactivity at this time. 07/14/2026 Actively nursing litter - no dog/dog interaction nor outside observation at this time. Dog is laying down nursing pup upon approach with a relaxed body. She displays sociability as I call out to her by lifting her head in a greeting with a loose body, wide eyes, slightly pinned ears and a low wagging tail. She is interested in treats offered to her and is seemingly conflicted to interact by inching toward me while looking back at pups over her shoulder with a tense body, wide eyes, pinned ears, appeasement grimace and a tucked tail. As I extend my hand toward her to offer treats, she displays mild guarding by freezing with a tense body, wide eyes with dilated pupils, pinned ears and a stiff tail. I remove my hand and she is able to adjust where she displays sociability by coming closer for continue treats with a loose body, lowered head, pinned ears and a low wagging tail. No barrier reactivity, observed at this time. Guarding of the litter possible.
