With her plush cream coat, dark mask, and curled plume tail, she has the striking look of an Akita, but her size suggests shes likely mixed with another spitz breed, possibly something like a Keeshond.

Other dogs barking? She doesnt care. New environment? Nothing phases her. She carries herself with quiet confidence and a gentle presence that makes you instantly relax.
