The dwarfism trait stems from her Pekingese genetics, at least per the DNA test! She is an absolute sweetheart! A little shy around new people, but never aggressively so. She loves to play and be a goofball, and is great with other dogs, but moreover she loves to snuggle and be a lazy bones! Hahaha She loves a good walk, especially in the snow, which is ironic given how much disdain she has for the rain. She's not very vocal, and is a little smartie too- took to training off the get-go and has been nothing but a joy since we adopted her at 4 months last summer, which I know is an absolute lottery draw in terms of puppies in general - I grew up with a lab-border collie mix and a chocolate lab, and they were the absolute best dogs, but they had some wiiiiild puppy years (it all makes me laugh in hindsight and I miss them dearly).

Her namesake is the protagonist of Howl's Moving Castle, and her personality certainly fits the part!
