Smiley is one of the Colville dogs. A bit shy with people initially but coming around just great!! Smiley is also wonderful with other dogs - extremely adept socially. She understands how to live in a pack and is very happy to do so. She might, however, be just fine as an only dog too. She has a great coat - it is pure plush velvet and easy-care in all weather. She is a great size, not too big or small.

And Smiley will bond with her forever human and will never let go. Smiley has gotten loose a couple of times and hung around. In fact, she let my dogs talk her into coming back. It was pretty amazing.

Once Smiley trusts, she wants to be all over you - her whole body wriggles non-stop in pure delight. But any strong command stops her in her tracks; she just wants to please. Although I do not know of experience with children, I believe she will be a dog that especially endears herself to children and who will completely fall in love with Her children.

None of the Colville dogs who are listed (Wookie, Smiley, Tango, Samson and Delilah) have any deep-seated abuse-type issues. They simply were harshly treated, and are now learning to trust humans. Their willingness to understand what humans want and to do just exactly that is outstanding.

Smiley can also turn into the mistress of Keep Away as she can be very playful. The puppy in her pops up every day.

We believe Smiley's jaw was broken and not reset; hence her perpetual smile. Smiley is in Cle Elum.

The Colville dogs were seized from a *husky-dog* puppy mill in the woods outside of Spokane in September. 36 dogs were seized; malamutes, siberians and mal/sibe mixes. WAMAL has the malamutes and some of the mal/sibe mixes.
