This is the dog that your children will fall in love with. And she will adore all of her new family. Chanel lives to please. She wants to be petted and to crawl into your lap so you can pet every square inch, rub her belly and snuggle every single inch of her warm wiggly self.

And although she is not so good at jumping on furniture, if you are at her level she is wonderful lap dog. She is small not a lightweight and on a very strict diet because of that - but she is just small. In body, that is. Not in spirit!!

Chanel is a sweet, happy playful baby but not hyper. She will, however, play with you anytime you choose to engage her. She is SO happy to be let into the yard each morning; she just grins and bounces and races around the yard. Then heads for the house, where she is a great house dog, amazing in such a young girl.

Chanel could make a very good family dog. She is a bossy little thing with other dogs (ok with boys) and is overly food oriented now (due to her diet?) but just adores being with people. She elicits love and needs gentle handling.

Chanel is a just a tiny bit of a special needs dog. She has abnormal hocks and this probably means she will not be a candidate for long running or long hikes. Wamal will have her re-assessed once her weight is down to see if she actually needs any help and will work with you on that, if need be.

But Chanel thinks she is practically perfect right now. And so do we. If you are looking for a big malamute heart in a small package, Chanel is your girl.

Chanel is being cared for in Cle Elum, WA.
