Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOSTER LOCATION: Boise ID
There's a lot of love in this 5 year old salt and pepper Poodle/Schnauzer package. Truly adorable, happy, playful and assertive. Yuri quickly connects and bonds. Loves to give kisses and excitedly lets you know how important you are to her. All she needs is the right human to share a lifetime of happy memories, excited greetings, strolls along the park, car rides and many movies as she will contently lay right beside you.
Yuri loves going a walks and does great on leash. She's house trained doing her business outdoors. Given the chance she'll keep herself entertained keeping your yard free from birds and squirrels. She also does well in a crate and is a great travel companion loving to go on car rides. She is an easy going girl and a real pleasure to have around.
Loving too much has been Yuri's downfall. When she bonds she is protective of her human and becomes a little possessive. She'll bark at strangers (a cute fairly quiet bark) but once assured there is no danger (and is distracted with a high value treat and praise) she goes back to her happy self. Yuri will need an owner who can let her know that she doesn’t need be protect her people; that they can take care of themselves. Yuri needs a kid free home (over 15) as she has been known to nip and bite at children who are too “busy” and who don’t understand that she is possessive of her quality time spent with her human.
She does fine around dogs and people but she sometimes tries to keep them at bay from her human, by barking or growling and even chasing (snapping but never biting). This habit of hers will quickly diminished within a very short time removing her from the situation (i.e. if she is on a lap protecting then she goes on the floor and is ignored); and by constantly giving her praises when she's behaving well.
Overall, Yuri is the perfect dog for someone who wants the company of a sweet, loving, loyal pal. Someone who will be consistent with her training to ensure everybody gets to enjoy the amazing dog she is.
