Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*LOOKING FOR A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT*
Purebred Miniature Schnauzer (CKC Registered) | 4.5 years (Born March 28, 2020) | Female | 16 lbs approx.
Temperament: Loving, kind, loyal.
Activity level: Moderate.
Vetting: Fully vaccinated (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, Lepto), microchipped, dewormed, comes with 6 months of flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Helania needs to be spayed. Once she is spayed she can be formally adopted by her foster-to-adopt home. Foster-to-adopters are required to take Helania to her spay appointment.
Housebroken: Yes.
Good with Dogs: Yes.
Good with Cats: Not tested. However, the other mamas we have received from this breeder were good with cats as they were socialized at an early age with them.
Good with Children: Yes.
Prey drive: Yes - will bark at squirrels. Curious about squirrels and birds, but does not growl or chase them.
Response to the outdoors: Loves her walks outside.
Crate-Trained: Yes.
Separation Anxiety: None observed.
Resource guarding: No.
Response to commands: Learning basic commands and responds well to her name and "come".
Are they vocal: She barks initially at sounds or when meeting new people for the first few minutes as she is a bit timid initially but warms up quickly. Barks at people and dogs on walks, but quiets quickly and is learning not to!
Leash etiquette: Good!
Transportation: Great in car.
