Breed Facts: |

|
|
Pandora, also called Dori- though she also answers to "Good Girl!", as I said it to her so many times (dammit she is an impressive dog- no, I am NOT biased) that she thinks it's her real name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Size is from 12 to 14 inches, being nearly in proportion in height and length. |

The typical Mini Schnau (yeah, that's MY nickname, not AKC's) is alert, friendly and obedient. |

To show, tails are docked and ears are clipped. Because of Finland's doggie laws, and because I think its icky...Dori is an all-natural girl. She doesn't even shave, the hippie.

More about my pooch: |

|
Until Dori can figure out how to get a residency permit and her own place, she lives here in Kuopio, Finland with me, in my wee little apartment. Luckily, Dor is a wee little dog so she just fits. I also give her a lot of treats and that makes up for the lack of space. |

Black is the only solid color allowed. There are white Mini Schnaus, but the other dogs point and laugh at them. |

- being called "Bad Dog"- it doesn't happen very often, and when it does, she knows to cock one ear up and let one hang down. I'm not made out of stone, people.
- her expensive new dog biscuits that I made a special trip to the store to get. I am not in the least bit bitter about that.
- the dog cookies I got to replace said dog biscuits. Do I give up? No. On the third try, I discovered the chocolate things she likes. Yeah, she has me trained. Shut up.
- that I yet to abandon my other pursuits to rub her fat belly endlessly. |

- her new chocolate treats, potato chips, and spilled honey. Don't ask.
- jumping up on the bed (I'm busy trying to break that habit to save Granny's quilt)
- peeing on the rug while I put down clean papers for her on the floor. Giving me the sweetest "What?" look while I clean my rug. Again.
- going for walks while it's snowing- not a bad thing for a dog living in Finland, but it means I get frostbite trying to get her back inside.
- licking my shower water from the bathroom floor. Yeah, I know. Ick. But she's so darn cute.
- chewing on Rolle's sweater. But I'm not going to tell him about that just yet.
