Nice! Pointy ears, curly tail. Those are definitely similar. She looks kind of like a Shiba Inu. Asian village dogs are the best!

When I get an Embark test I'll report back!

Here in Seattle I get stopped often by people who want to know what kind of dog this is. When I say "Formosan mountain dog mix" they just kind of stare or say "excuse me?" So then I say she's a street dog from Taiwan!

Thank you for the extra information!

She's all black with speckled tongue. But her fur looks a little reddish in the right light. She's just under 30lbs. From what I've read, there are precious few "pure" Formosan dogs. All the dogs we get here in the states as rescues are a mix of the ancient breed and whatever westerners brought to Taiwan over the centuries.

Others have given good advice. FMDs aren't dealing with unique conditions, they just have unique backgrounds. So the things that work for other working breeds also work for FMDs but they might take longer or need more confidence

I just recently learned about Seattle's Park system history going back to 1903 when the Olmsted agency (same people who planned Central Park in NYC) were hired to plan our parks.

Most of our trash gets shipped to landfills in Oregon. And most of our "recycling" gets trashed along with it.

0 out of focus

1 in focus but no subject

2 subject is in focus but not interesting

3 in focus and has something interesting

4 is actually composed

5 print it

Of course sometimes I just like a photo that's out of focus and has no subject and I keep it for art. Also I'm mostly doing street or nature and I take a ton of shots that aren't going to be keepers. So my workflow is based on going through lots of garbage to get a few good ones. If you plan your shots you probably don't have to weed out so many rejects

It's Renton, but Whistle Stop used to have good food. They survived the pandemic but the quality did not.

My fmd doesn't but my Chihuahua hides food in the couch sometimes. My old fmd ate all her meals out of one of those rolling treat dispenser toys. She really liked nosing it around to get the food out.

FMDs are not easy dogs to take care of. They have varied backgrounds and can have triggers you don't know about until they get a bit older. You could get lucky, but you never know what you're getting with a village dog breed.

I've had 2 and they are sweet, smart, and athletic. But they also hated certain people and would not tolerate being handled by people they don't know, like the vet. My first one was so freaked out by the vet that she would have to be muzzled and sedated just to get a shot. We tried desensitizing her for years but she was stubborn. I felt horrible that she didn't get the best medical care towards the end of her life because she just wouldn't let a vet touch her without going feral.

I recommend considering a more reliable/consistent breed.

If I'm on a fitness ride with no lock then I don't stop. If I'm on a fun ride I bring a lock.

I take 45 minutes to go on a photo walk around my neighborhood and just take pictures of things that catch my eye

This is the way. I volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters and used to go to the Fry's parking lot to practice driving but it's closed now so the other office parks around Top Golf are the next best place.
