Story
Hi, Suri is 5, and purchased from a trusted breeder . She is trained to sit , lay , “paw”. She is house trained and does not require a kennel . She is pure bred with her blue papers. She is spayed and really enjoys attention . She enjoys runs and walks but does not require many as she most likes to lounge beside her humans.She lives with her older dog aunt. We are looking for a caring home with a big yard for space to run and someone who enjoys cuddling . Suri enjoys one on one time, walks and room to run for short bursts of energy . Her favorite thing to do is curl up next to her humans . She loves playing in the snow , does not care for the rain . 1/2 - 1 mile daily walks, 20-30 minutes of free play (twice a week). She isn't a big toy lover, she prefers treats . Not big on tug of war but will play for a little while . Enjos a good ball throw ! Thrives with older children (4 and up) , best in home with yard or with a human who can get to secure green space at least once a week.
