Man's Yappy Best Friend
Saskia is the sweetest dog I have ever owned. Potty trained with-in months, socially training her was hardly a chore as she loves to socialize with other animals though sometimes she gets a little nervous around very big dogs. The only two complaints I have about this breed is because they are so long they do have very fragile backs so be careful about having them jump off beds or couches. I purchased little dog stairs to ease her transition from couch/bed to floor. The second thing is that she has a very high pitched bark that she loves to use any time she gets hungry/has to use the bathroom. Barking is fine to me, in fact I love to hear my puppies voice, but at three in the morning when she needs to go to the bathroom I would prefer to sleep!
