ABOUT :
Myrtle comes from a backyard breeder. We were contacted to take all his dogs as he no longer wanted to breed. He had sold all the puppies on kijiji and was trying to sell Myrtle along with the others as well on kijiji to make more money but we thankfully were able to talk him out of it because these dogs needed medical care, socialization and we wanted to be sure they wouldn’t be used anymore for breeding.
Myrtle is a gentle and loving girl. She needs a few days to settle down when she is in a new environment, but she bonds quickly to people, especially if food is involved! Once she knows you, she is happiest when she is with you - she is always asking to be pet or to come and sit in your lap. She is most definitely a cuddle bug! Myrtle walks well on leash, so long as it’s nice out. This girl is not a fan of the cold! Housebreaking is still a work in progress - Myrtle will do her business outside, but still needs work learning not to go inside as well. She is very comfortable sleeping in her crate, and sometimes doesn’t want to come out of it in the morning!
Loud or sudden noises can startle Myrtle at times, so she would do best in a calmer home with someone who has lots of time to spend with her.
