pip1981 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Name: Kimark Xbri Alnair ~ Dakota Nickname: Puppina, Doofus, Princess, Puppy, Pupsicle Breed: Samoyed Gender: Bitch - desexed Age: 2 years, 7 months Picture: 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!

Favourite toy: pink squeaky and hefalump squeaky and Connor's snuggle pup that still goes to bed with him most nights Funny habits or quirks: Clancy has a habit of greeting me by coming through my legs from behind then stopping and looking up to me! Connor just loves to wrap himself around my neck What's their personality like? Clancy can be a bit aloof, he is definately 'top dog' of the two, Connor is a little shadow dog, follows me everywhere and Always checks with Clancy if he is doing the right thing or if he is about to be grrd at. Do they get along well with other dogs? Usually, bit wary at first if the dog is a bit too excited though. Are they scared of anything? They can be a bit worried by small excitable children as they have had limited exposure to kids - hell even I get scared of them at times! What training methods do you use? Positive reinforcement? Corrections? Positive! Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
