Female Maltese Pekingese Mix - Pikushka

Piki is just turning a year old; our female Maltese Pekingese mix was born on 12/27/11. We have had her for 8 months. She is a loving and very loyal dog. She seems more attached to her adopted mother, Olga, than anyone. Piki is a real people dog, loves to meet everyone she sees, she always gets excited when meeting new people. She loves to give kisses and will lick you to death. She is very good at playing fetch and has tons of energy. Like I have read our Maltese Pekingese mix is a very stubborn buy very loyal dog. If she doesn’t want to go for a walk, she will not go for a walk. We have been trying to teach her to shake hands but that has not been going well. She will sit/stay on command. She has been housebroken; it took about 6 months, 10 months old, to really not have any accidents. In the description on this site they say “they usually aren't that active indoors", I do not agree with that. Our Pekatese is always running around and constantly wants to play. She never runs out of energy. Piki has a black face with white/brown on the rest of her body. At 1 year old she is now about 10.8 lbs.
