Miriel Rhodesian Ridgeback & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Eugene, OR

Name: Miriel

BREED: Rhodesian Ridgeback/Pit Bull cross
AGE: approx.. 5 months old
WEIGHT: approx. 45 pounds

LIKES: Miriel loves to be around her people and other dog friends, she just wants to be touching someone! She’s an active and boisterous pup who loves to race around the house and wrestle and play with toys (especially the crinkly toys!). She loves food and gets especially excited when she gets a meal in a treat dispensing ball – she wiggles while she bats it around the house.

DISLIKES: Not being in the same room as her people, being in her crate, bathtime.

PERSONALITY TRAITS: Miriel is full of energy and wants to make her people happy. She’s very vocal and likes to tell you if she’s excited, frustrated or just wants to play. She’ll bark at her dog friends hoping to inspire play time. She’s an active young pup and likes to play outside. She’ll lay in the sun on the deck and chew on a bone. She loves to race around the yard, chasing after her foster dog siblings or exploring in the trees. She likes digging and
playing in the dirt.

POTTY TRAINING STATUS: Miriel does well going out on a schedule. However, she is not a fan of the rain and sometimes needs encouragement to head outside and do her business.

CRATE TRAINING STATUS: Ongoing work in progress. She would rather sleep in bed with you and if she does, she falls right asleep and will sleep through the night. If she’s in her kennel, she will bark and cry for quite a while before settling down. She does better sleeping in a kennel if there is another dog in there with her (in same kennel or close by). During the day, she’s in a kennel for approx. 4 hours at a time. She will willingly go into her kennel for a treat and doesn’t whine as much as she knows you’re leaving. If you’re home, she wants to be where you are.

EXTRAS/MISC. INFO: Miriel is a fun puppy to have around. She’s very smart but can also be stubborn. She is working on her personal space boundaries and loves to jump on everyone to say hello. This is something her foster family is working on with her and, with continued training, she will be able to curb in time. She would do best in a home with children 8+ due to her size and boisterous nature. She is mouthy and likes to play rough so might not be the best fit for small children as she doesn’t realize she’s a big puppy! She would enjoy having a playful dog friend – would recommend at least 40 pounds and above. She seeks out the
other dogs in the house, especially her foster brother, and will spend an evening in the living room wrestling with him and chewing on toys together. She’s a wonderful young pup who will give you all the love in the world.
