We got Mishka from Manchester Dogs Home 3 years ago and we believe her to be at least 8. Once she knows you she is incredibly loyal, loving and fun. She lives with a Malamute, 2 cats and 2 kids. She is an easy dog to look after prefering to sleep rather than go out a lot of the time, she doesn't bark much and only really pulls when she is coming home for her dinner ! She is best walked away from other dogs as she doesn't like everyone she meets. She does not like having her collar pulled so please don't try and drag her anywhere if you want her to do something specific she responds very well to treats and is very good orientated. When she's been her walk and had her food she likes to have a mad five minutes usually shaking her toy until she,s worn out. We have used dog buddy previously and Mishka settled in really well and had no problems with the sitter.
