🐶 Basics Dog’s Name: Mitta Nicknames: MiMi, BG (Baby Girl), Chibi, Chibibibi, Nugget :) Age/ Size: 9wks / 2-3lbs 💛 Personality Snapshot Spunky, Silly, Brave, Pure, Sweet Energy Level - Big Puppy Energy, Lots of play & deep long naps Loves her people, any people, all people She fears nothing and is curious and interested in everything 🐕 Social & Home Life Great with all people so far - Big dudes, little old ladies, Regular ladies Not tested with children but I think she’d love them. I’d like to point out that she is VERY small and easily gets underfoot She is very interested in my dogs. Sadly they are not happy about or interested in her :( I think she would do great with a puppy-tolerant doggie sibling to snuggle with, play with, or learn from. So far, she does not like being left alone and will cry when you are out of sight more that minute or two. We are working on it and working on crate training. She will do great I’m sure, it will just take some time and patience. She’s great when guests visit. Even when my resident dogs are being craaaazy. 🎓 Training & Manners We are working on potty training - it’s only been a few days and she is already learning well Create training - She really does not like being enclosed in the crate or play pen but we working on it. Slow and steady. She has started taking her her meals in the crate and snuffle Mat and toys in the pen. Always with her door open for now. She’s doing great on the leash and she’s making fast progress with the “sit” command 🌞 Daily Life Typical day: We are on a puppy schedule - feeding 3 times a day broken up with play, training, naps, and lots of potty breaks Exercise needs: Great with play time and short walks and snuffle mat Favorite activities or toys: She loves to snuggle! She also loves to play a tug of war with her rope toy, fetch with anything, and of course lamb chop toy. She enjoys playing by herself but prefers that you be watching while she does :) 🌱 Growth Areas Lots of room for growth - She’s a puppy! Lots to learn but i think her biggest challenge will be the crate and alone time. She’s working on her potty training and dealing with stairs and doing very well. A structured schedule and lots of patience will be instrumental in helping her succeed 🏡 Ideal Home This pup would do terrific with a resident dog or dogs! Just be sure they’re ready for her puppy energy. Terrific for an apartment -Teeny tiny & mostly quiet Best type of household - I think she’d fit in just about anywhere! But if I had to choose, I think medium activity might be best. She would love someone to be active with but also needs her rest. Would also be great to have someone who works from home or someone who could take her to a doggie day care 💙 Foster Note This little girl is puppy perfection. She is sweet and smart and curious. If you’ve ever wanted a small dog/chihuahua but feared some of those pesky personality stereotypes - this is your girl. She is pure love and joy, wildly friendly and fearless. With proper and regular socialization, you could have a pint sized companion to take everywhere and that loves everyone! She’s a little shadow and will follow you everywhere. On walks she looks up at you with the sweetest most curious face, checking on you and looking for guidance. She has teeny paws and long gangly legs and likes to gallop around.
