Chika came to our rescue off the EU list at fort worth. her owner tied her to a pole in the middle of the night with a dog bed food and water. she was very matted so we had to shave her and it looks as if she was a breed most her life. she is housebroken, great with kids, other dogs and cats and will talk to you too. I put a different bow in her hair everyday and she loves it. she is good off leash as well. she weighs about 8-9 pounds. she is 7 years plus
