Pumpkin

At nine months, pumkin is still so smart, loving and attentive. She loves long walks and heels like a pro. Loves to be with people all the time and demands play from them constantly.

Her beautiful mane and fur does shed, but not-very-much-so and it is straight and fairly thick. So there is no clipping required and it comes off clothes easily. Brushing reduces this somewhat but doesn't collect much hair in itself.

Pumpkin - at nine months, still "worries" petting hands with her mouth a lot.

The terrier in her loves to chew on just about anything - adopting some of our shoes - so make sure your yoranian has lots of her own stuff to take to her "spot" and destroy. Toys stuck under furniture has led to some cosmetic damage and she has dug-up some of our potted plants (then again so have the cats). Give her a rich environment to play in while away or she will likely chew on something you don't want her to in frustration.

We've had zero health/alergy/medical problems in this animal. Although she did produce a second row of (adult) teeth (shark dog!) which we took care of during her spay.

She is a joy for us. Our Mutant Rat Dog! And beautiful.
