Nova displays high levels of barrier reactivity in kennel and leash reactivity/fear aggression towards other dogs when on leash, displays fearful behavior off leash with other dogs but has been able to participate in large dog playgroup.

Nova has routine instances of observed limping/lameness fluctuating between all four limbs, exam and radiographs produced no significant findings or evidence of breaks/fractures.
