There isn't a single thing in life that Jasmine doesn't give her all to. She is all in for play, for food, for love, and for rest. Jasmine is the life coach you didn't know you needed, and the love you didn't realize was missing in your life.
Jas has a zest for toys that keeps her occupied at the kennel. She will often choose a favorite and want only that one for a bit. Sometimes the toys don't survive her level of love, but she doesn't ingest toys, so we are ok with just letting her have this game. While she is ALWAYS down to play with toys, she is pretty neutral with other dogs. As long as they aren't trying to steal her toy from her, she is content to share space with an occasional romp for fun.
Her love of food has been very helpful in working on her training. She is quick to pick things up and over eager to guess what you want her to do next. Because why waste time for a sit, then a shake, when you can do it simultaneously? She is a bit enthusiastic for treat taking (Might be too much for some kids), but she means no harm- just lacks some depth perception.
A Jasmine greeting can make you feel like you're the only person in the world she was waiting for, and she is over the moon to see you! She has this way about leaning into your hands and just looking completely blissed to have you scratching her cheeks. She will also lean into your side for pets when soliciting attention. And her favorite place to be is where you are. You don't have to be intently focused on her, but she would like to share space with you, like the company of a good friend who doesn't need to be entertained, but happy to breathe the same air.
As hard as she plays, Jasmine rests well too! After a leisurely stroll Jas will find her favorite toy and a cozy spot in the sun to take a nap. She is one of the easiest dogs to go to bed at night, as she is happy to turn in as it gets dark and rest the day away. It sometimes makes it hard to finish our own chores as she looks so cozy and inviting that you want to join her!
Jasmine does have some special needs. She has some hip dysplasia and nerve impingement in her spine, but she doesn't let any of that interfere with her life and we manage any potential pain related to those conditions. Like with many other small dogs, we just ask that any adopters are aware of the limitations and concerns for a little girl in a big world.
