Health Issue(s)

• Had surgery in 2011 to repair her torn ACL muscle, she’s made a complete recovery with no complications.

Temperament

• Fun loving and very active.
• Sounds the alarm when an unfamiliar person approaches the property but warms up quickly once she realizes they are no threat.
• She gets a little uncomfortable around men that have their faces covered (hoods, scarves, etc.)
• Loves to play: catches balls, swims and is great on the treadmill.
• Equally interested in learning and cuddling with her person.
• Prefers not to cuddle too long, because she needs to see what is happening with the world around her.
• Extremely intelligent and would do well with someone who likes to train in obedience or a sport.
• Not crazy about her feet being touched.
• When it comes to trimming her nails Mia has some body guarding issues.
• Hard for her to contain her excitement. Mia loves to move and often quivers with anticipation.

Owner Suitability

• Must be part of an active home. She needs an outlet for her energy as well as her mind.
• Suited for a family with older kids, as she can be rambunctious.
• Fenced yard is an absolute must for Mia.
• Very good with other dogs, although can get a little rough and doesn’t want to stop playing.
• Unsure how she would behave around cats.
• Known to get car sick, so it may be necessary to slowly ease her into long road trips.
