Definitive Guide to Minaki

Updated 24May17

Petfinder: Minaki's Petfinder Profile
Age: ~2 years
Weight: ~11lbs
Food:   1C dry food
Treats:  Doesn't seem to have a preference, but sometimes she will take treats and sometimes she isn't interested.
Good with Men: yes
Good with Women: yes
Good with Children: yes
Good with Dogs: yes
Good with Cats: unknown
Housebroken: Minaki is a schedule dog.  She doesn't alert me when she needs to go outside, but as long as I maintain a standard schedule she doesn't have any accidents in the house.
Crate Trained: Sort of.  Minaki  does not like to be in her crate, and will avoid it as much as possible.  If forced in, she will stay in for as long as required without making a peep.  She is very trustworthy and can easily be left to free roam while her people are away, however.
Leash Trained: Yes.  However, if something startles her she will try to escape.
Other Skills: None yet.
Personality: Motherly would be the best word to describe her.  She is very playful with the other dogs, but she takes naps every chance she gets.  She seems to enjoy teaching my puppy how to be a proper dog.  Minaki is very sweet, and will curl right up next to her person for some late night snuggles.
Toys:  She loves squeaky toys the best.
Nicknames: Mini.
Ideal Family: Minaki's ideal family is one that will treat her as part of the family, not as just a pet.  She would like a family that is generally low-key, but does have the occasional adventure.  She loves to run around outside, so a big, fenced in yard would be great!
