Where did you get them from? Registered breeder, Victoria

How often do you exercise your dog? Every day, but not always walking, a lot of play at home

Do they know any commands? Sit, drop, stay, back (moves in reverse), shake hands, then 'shake other hand' (she swaps), off, up, run, out, bed, knows most of her toys by name, knows us as 'mummy' and 'daddy' :)

Compete in any dog sports? No, but I keep saying I'd love to do proper obedience and then agility with her, just never get off my bum and do anything about it...

Favourite treat: probably cheese, but of course she doesn't get it too often

Favourite toy: At the moment, it's an Ostrich

Funny habits or quirks: Burping at awkward moments, gently placing treats on the floor and sniffing/licking them before eating, sniffing other dogs eyes? is this normal? lol

What's their personality like? Dakota is a very happy girl, quite content doing her own thing as long as she can 'access' her humans at will, hehe, although she does have cuddly moments too. She's always up for a play with a favourite toy, loves every person she meets, especially kids.

Do they get along well with other dogs? Loves other dogs, if anything she is TOO excited around them.

Are they scared of anything? Has always been a little bit jumpy, but nothing major until our most recent New Year celebration when she developed a fear of loud cracking sounds, thanks to fire crackers, so now, all of a sudden thunderstorms are a bit stressful. Lucky we have a very safe and secure yard and plan on spending every N.Y.E with her anyway.

What training methods do you use? Positive reinforcement? Corrections? Mostly positive reinforcement, but I can't say I've put a lot of effort into any training at all in the last year ;) I really should get back on it!

What's their personality like? Aloof, obstinate, loyal. We find him absolutely hillarious, but we are extremely biased

Do they get along well with other dogs? We're getting there. Mainly he wants to play with everyone. At puppy class he's the biggest guy by far, but he lets the smaller dogs win wrestling matches. He gives you that "you know I can win this if I wanted to..." look.
