My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nakita, a charming and well-mannered canine companion, exudes both discipline and affection in equal measure. House-trained with a knack for waiting patiently for her walks to attend to her needs, she demonstrates remarkable behavior, enjoying the freedom of the living room when her human is away, yet showing a fondness for her crate when required. With a penchant for bones and toys, she entertains herself without causing much trouble, contentedly welcoming her crate and exhibiting friendliness and obedience even in the care of a sitter during absences. While she may struggle with interactions with other animals, Nakita remains composed and disciplined on walks, rarely displaying any inclination to pull or bark, much to the admiration of passersby.

Her boundless energy shines during her thrice-daily walks, where she eagerly explores her surroundings, gradually mastering commands like `drop it` and reveling in moments of both cuddles and independence. Nakita`s endearing enthusiasm, impeccable manners, and gentle demeanor make her an adored companion to all who encounter her, a sentiment echoed by strangers who praise her exemplary behavior on walks and delight in her joyful anticipation of each adventure outdoors.
