Misa (Japanese Spitz) is a delightful girl who wants to say “Hello” to every human and every dog. She is always waving her happy tail and loves when we have visitors.
She is used to being in a busy house, and likes to know what is going on. She loves to play and very happily plays by herself. She’s great with other dogs, and does a weekly pack walks too. We don’t let her off lead unless it’s a fenced area as she’s still learning to recall (ha ha, selective hearing) but for treats, she’ll bring the ball back!
We do feel would be great as the only pet in the house, where she can be the centre of attention. She has lived with cats her whole life and still doesn’t like them. It’s caused her to guard her food and toys when the cats are around and other dogs too. Something our trainer thinks is possible to untrain when away from other dogs and cats.
Our trainer is also very happy to do a session in your home if you adopt her (that we’ll pay for) to settle her in.
She knows the commands ” walk” “toilet” “time for bed” “shake” “sit” “down” “inside”
Misa is great in the car if she sits in the front, is okay with being left at home (no anxiety) and LOVES sleep in her crate. She’s not the type of dog to sleep on your bed or cuddle on the couch. She’s quite independent and when she’s had enough she can do a low short growl and sometimes snap. She doesn’t bite but the sound isn’t great. This is also something our trainer knows is trainable out of her. She’s not aggressive, just ‘small dog’ snappy on the rare occasion.
She has grown up with kids around but again, feel she’s better suited to adults or older kids. We have enjoyed having Misa since she was 8 weeks old until now, but her dislike of our cats is a challenge and we really feel she needs a home where she is the centre of attention and with people who have more spare time to enjoy her.
She had her teeth cleaned by the vets in January and she has no medical conditions. She loves eating vegetables and we feed her raw meat discs from Animates. Not kibble as it caused her a bit of skin irritation. She is spayed too.
We hope to find a lovely home for her and look forward to you meeting her.
