Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kiwi, who we think is a Chihuahua/Yorkie (sometimes called a Chorkie) mix weighs a tiny bit over 7 pounds and is thought to be about a year old.
She is a sweet active young lady who is very curious and busy. She loves people and other dogs, enjoying a game of tug-a-war, chase or wrestling.
Affectionate and loving she will be cuddling in your lap every chance she gets. After fun and games she likes chew toys and a nap, sleeping with you or in her bed. She uses a doggie door and a piddle pad. Kiwi was born with medial patellar luxation which causes her to walk with a somewhat unusual gait pattern. Despite her right knee oddity she runs, jumps and plays with no distress and our vet feels that since she is having no difficulties moving about, she should do just fine without any corrective surgery. She has been spayed, brought up to date on vaccinations including Bordatella for kennel cough, tested negative for heartworms and is being kept on monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Kiwi displays all the fine qualities of a perfect puppy companion and thus is ready to brighten your day.
