Meet Della, a delightful puppy known for her sweet and friendly nature. This goofy girl loves to play and her joyful antics are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.

Della is a smart girl that is crate trained, walks pretty good on the leash, and is working hard on house training, but still needs a little more practice.
