Personality:
Hazel is very independent. Although she loves the company of humans, she likes to go off on her own and explore. She's a very clever pup and understands commands extremely well, but she prefers to do her own thing most of the time. Hazel can be quite feisty when she feels like it and loves to play with and hunt other animals. Sometimes she plays just way too rough though.
Hazel is this way because of how she grew up. As a pup, she was mostly alone and was forced to do things on her own. She had to hunt her own food and find her own shelter. After she was taken in and fostered, she retained this behavior. To this day she still tries to catch rabbits and cats, even when she has a great big bowl of food to eat. It's thought that maybe she still remembers the life she used to live and she's all too worried she'll go back to it.
Despite being mostly independent, Hazel is a very kind dog. She's full of fire and spunk, but she'll curl right into your lap if she's tired out. She knows when to stop doing something she shouldn't do and she respects authority. Many think it's because it was a human who saved her from being a stray, so she feels that she's in debt to everyone.
Hazel enjoys every bit of the outdoors. She loves to roll in the soft grass and drink from pond water and she knows every twist and turn of the forest in the backyard of where she lives. She's seen every tree and every sprouting mushroom enough to know her way. That is proof of just how intelligent she really is; able to memorize and track her way. With her keen sense of smell, she can very easily find her way back home if she ever gets lost.
Hazel is charming, rambunctious, independent and intelligent and she loves her humans..so much. They give her a warm bed to sleep on, lots of love and attention, and yummy food to eat. After a long day of playing in the woods, she'd much rather be in the safety of a home than in the cold, dark, forest. Hazel is very much aware of the creatures that lurk outside in the night. She's heard their howls, their grunts, and their yips. She knows she could never outmatch a bear or a coyote, so she knows she belongs at home. The world is just far too big for a pup like her, but especially in the night.
They call her Fire In The Mountain because she has a fiery heart. She will play and chase for hours like lava battering the sides of a volcano and her personality is just in flames; excited and playful, with a warm set of eyes and a happy soul.
