Missy

My dog Missy is a Boston Terrier/Mini Schnauzer mix. Her father is a medium sized pure bred Mini Schnauzer and her mother is a very small pure bred Boston Terrier. Missy is 2 years old now and I've had her since she was 7 weeks old. She is mostly black,with grey mixed in, she has 2 white paws and a white belly. She has very curly wirey longer hair that I cut short in the spring. Missy now weighs around 22 lbs. She has a VERY sweet disposition, she loves snuggling and is very much a lap dog. She gets along great with other dogs (she loves big dogs!), and she loves kids. She is always full of energy and loves to play, but she does have her lazy times. Missy is quite intelligent as well, but I have found that she isn't a great swimmer (she has her own lifejacket!). I am a photographer and Missy loves getting her picture taken, she is quite patient! She is also very tolerable of nail clipping, bathing, hair trimming, ect. She is a great girl and has been my best friend since we met!
