My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am a cute 5 year old Miniature American Eskimo cross. I look just like an American Eskimo but I also have some really cool black markings on my
ears, paws and near my nose. I'm about 15 inches at the should and maybe 15lbs or so. My foster mom calls me Pixie Trixie 'cause I know lots of tricks. I can sit, shake a paw, spin, roll over and play dead. I
am also working on learning to lie down and stay.

My favourite activities are playing tug and fetch, getting tummy rubs, ripping up stuffies and playing with water (see video). I lived with 5 cats at my previous home and am respectful of them. I am good with other
dogs once I have had a slow controlled off leash introduction. I am getting along well with the other 3 dogs at my foster home. My foster mom says we
have to work on my leash manners as I always want to pull and will lunge and bark a lot at other dogs. I haven't been around kids very much and would
likely be good only with children 12 years and older.

I have a typical personality of an American Eskimo. That means I like to bark especially at other dogs and I tend to be protective of my people, home, yard and car. I will need a kind but firm owner otherwise I will try
to take over and be the boss. My foster mom is currently using the Nothing In Life Is Free (NILIF) method to promote good behaviour in a positive
way. You can read about it at http://www.ddfl.org/behavior/nilif.pdf It would
be would be beneficial if you had knowledge of the American Eskimo breed. I am spayed, housetrained, cratetrained, microchipped and have all my
vaccinations. Fill out an Adoption Application if you are interested in adopting me. I can't wait to find my new home!
