Where is Kurisu from? - Kurisu was born here in our home! She is from our 2nd litter, Tavi is her dam and Akuma is her sire.
What does Kurisu like? - She is a bit more silly and active than Tavi. When I compare the two she is more expressive of her happiness, a bit more pushy and in your face.
How is Kurisu with other dogs? - Kurisu is great with dogs! We take her to the dog park and other dog social events. She is quite 'soft' when interacting with other dogs, which lends to get being bullied a bit and requires that I step in and be her advocate otherwise other dogs will run her into the ground. The rare occurrence she isn't *into* a dog, she gives appropriate warnings and a very fair correction.
Does Kurisu resource guard (food, toys, space)? - She does NOT resource guard with humans. She also does NOT resource guard with our other 3 dogs and our 4 cats (the cats will shove their head into her bowl and eat her canned food). She will resource guard food from strange dogs if they try to take it out of her mouth or she is cornered (and will give an appropriate correction). She first tries to pick up the treat and leave the situation to eat in peace. She does not seek conflict.
How is Kurisu with strangers & kids? - Kurisu is friendly with strangers and good with kids that aren't too rambunctious. If they start having a tantrum or are being loud / jumping up and down , running in circles, she won't engage (but will once they are calm again).
How is Kurisu with loud noises & being left alone? - Kurisu doesn't mind loud noises (fireworks, gun shots, garbage trucks, etc), but she doesn't like people raising their voices. She doesn't get scared when people raise their voices, but she gives appeasing behaviors (ears back, comes to you for reassurance, etc) even when the raised voices aren't directed at her. She has 0 issues being left alone.
How is Kurisu with other animals? - We have 4 cats and Kurisu is great with them! She is good with livestock too. I think if she were worked with a small animal (rabbit, bird, etc) that she could be trusted with them.
How biddable is Kurisu? - Kurisu enjoys training, she has more excitement and drive than Tavi which can lead to her being a little easier to get distracted especially if nothing interesting is really happening. She loves working for toys and loves personal play and praise. Food motivation is ~medium, as it really depends on her mood and the environment.
Is Kurisu affectionate? - Kurisu is VERY affectionate once she claims you as hers. She loves sleeping on top of me, in my lap, nuzzling, etc. She isn't very licky, so I feel super special when she does lick my face.
Kurisu lineage concerns -
Kurisu's sire had testicle cancer at 9 years old and was neutered.
Kurisu's sire had some small kidney stones at 10 years old that needed to be flushed out.
Kurisu's full sibling got pancreatitis (and was hospitalized) from catching & eating a wild rabbit.
Kurisu's half-sibling (same sire) had an autoimmune illness called Puppy Strangles.
Some of Kurisu's half-siblings (same sire) had heart murmurs, her littermates did not have any heart murmurs.
Two (2) half-siblings (same dam) developed fatty deposits on their eyes @ 4 y/o.
Kurisu heat cycles -
Kurisu had her first heat at 7 months old.
