Spunky Yorkie Mix - Pelusa

Pelusa is a great CHILD! Our Maltese Yorkie mix is 4 years old and we have had her since she was about 6 months old. She is a spunky dog that when around older lazy dogs, can make them youthful again! My brother has a 10 year old Hound dog named and HUNNY and that dog lays around ALL day, well just after being around Pelusa for a day, Hunny and her were running around playing chase! It was the cutest thing! Pelusa is very shy around strangers, she growls at them and will not them touch her! She has to be around the person for days before letting them get near. Pelusa was also very hard to potty train INDOORS :(. She would not follow our other dog Princess (13 year old toy apple head Chihuahua) to the puppy pads. But after a whole year she FINALLY goes on the puppy pad and expects her TREAT each time she does! Pelusa is a GREAT dog and very intelligent! Our Maltese Yorkie mix fetches her toys and loves the ones that SQUEAK! My husband and I love Pelusa! P.S. "Pelusa" means lint or fuzz ball in Spanish!
