Independent, unpredictable, fierce. Onyx is a bit of a wild one. Although raised and handled by humans she has retained a stubborn and aloof streak that makes her more than a handful to work with. She can be dangerous when handled by inexperienced or dominating people, so she requires an understanding and patient owner to help bring out the best in her. On her good days this powerful and wild nature can be a benefit, her hunting skills and guarding drive are superb, but when she is having a bad day it is best to give her the time she needs to think things through. With her pups and with any human she does decide she likes, she can be a sensitive and even gentle companion. However, she will never be a pet and should never be treated as reliable or fully tame.
