Critter Details

Twilight aka Twyla breed – poodle mix  black with some white markings / poodle coat female  spayed 1 yr old  vac utd microchipped active / athletic  not aggressive or reactive with food or toys very sweet, wants to cuddle once she gets to know/trust you/family seems ok with strangers but might bark. she can still be a bit timid when startled but not aggressive  loves other dogs Love to play, loves her toys…will sometimes chew on inappropriate things (blankets, slippers) so needs supervision.  She will chew/eat stuffies so should only have access to such toys under supervision. She is rapidly responding with training to know what she can or cannot play with. She is crate trained. At feeding time she runs to her crate and waits to be fed. She no longer needs to be crated thru the night  Almost housetrained but could still have accidents Is still crated when no one will be home….she will sometimes cry. travels well in the car  does bark  … as she learns to trust the barking is becoming less … she will respond to a gentle command to quiet  she is quickly learning sit, down commands …such a smart girl! Because of her puppy mill past, starting over in a new home/new family she will need time/patience/space to adapt to all the change. She will most likely express her uncertainty with a few growls  Now that she trust me I am able to handle her with no concerns. Picking her up or cleaning snow off her legs/feet are are now done without issue … she has gotten over any fear she had associated with handling (when she first came in she was a matted mess and needed grooming; she did snap and nip our groomer) She was a good girl at the vets. Does stairs like a pro. Walking on a leash with no problem other then she does tend to pull. ( Caution when out walking / she could be still a flight risk) It's a real joy to watch her run free  with the speed of a greyhound,  doing her zoomies around the yard. She loves the snow.
