When you think Malamute, do you think Exuberant? Goofy? Happy-go-Lucky? LOVES her humans? Flops down for belly rubs? Yep! That is Nikita.

Nikita is a full size malamute with all of the energy of a big puppy - but surprisingly easy to walk and incredibly lovable cuddle-able. She is totally people oriented and trusting - you can do anything with her. People are fun! People are great! People give you food! And Pets! They brush you! And take you out to fun places! Swimming is fun! Walks are fun! I will roll over for pets - ok ok!

And she can bowl you over as well, if you rough-house with her. People can do anything with this girl - she is completely submissive with people of all ages, including children. If you fuss at her, she flops over on her back. But she also loves to pretend to run full-tilt at you in play, and may alarm your children. Older kids might be best simply because of her strength and exuberance.

However Nikita is more than ready to be taught some new manners - she wants very much to know what she is supposed to do. She sits for food, takes treats gently. And then --Ohboy.ohboy.ohboy - she forgets everything and body-slams you cause she is SURE that you are trying to play! She is SO much fun.

So whats the catch? Well, Nikita's secret name (Every malamute has a secret name, it is up to you to discover it) is Miss Jealous Heart. Because Nikita is jealous of any dog who might take peoples attention away from her. She has been best-buds only with Matt Dillon who she can sit on. But even with him, she would prefer to have ALL of the people for her own self. Good news about that? You will never have to shell out for Doggie Daycare. She does not nee - or want - canine companionship. She only needs you. If you love Alaskan Malamutes, you will adore this dog.

Nikita is being cared for in Kent, WA
