Muffy has a quiet charm and an old soul, preferring to observe the world from her cozy corner or a securely fenced yard before she warms up. Once she opens up, expect a deeply loyal companion who offers high-fives, twirls, and unwavering support. At medium size and weighing 50 pounds, Muffy is selectively social. She loves peaceful walks, forest hikes, and engaging trick sessions, showcasing her impressive repertoire which includes spin, wave, and heel. Muffy can be shy with newcomers and thrives in a calm, cat-free home with one or two experienced adults who understand her need for routine and space. She’s not a fan of chaotic environments or surprise greetings, making her unsuitable for homes with children.
