Matcha is a delightful little companion, a true "people dog" with a heart full of love for her human. This affectionate and cuddly girl cherishes being close to you, often found curled up by your side. While she enjoys a playful game of fetch and her toys, her greatest joy is simply being with her person. She's gentle, intelligent, and possesses wonderful manners, making her a charming presence in any home.
As a Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle mix, Matcha combines the best traits of both breeds: the Yorkie's spirited devotion and the Poodle's intelligence and trainability. She knows all her basic commands, is completely potty trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. Her easy-going nature extends to grooming, as she patiently tolerates baths, nail trims, and even longer sessions. She gets along well with other small dogs and is great with children, making her a versatile and loving addition to many families.
Matcha's ideal home is one where her family is present most or all of the time, as she experiences separation anxiety and will bark when left alone. For this reason, a home without shared walls is essential. She also requires a fenced yard, as she is not reliable with pottying on a leash. Matcha is cautious with new people initially but warms up gently, and would be a perfect match for seniors or anyone seeking a devoted, quiet, and incredibly loving shadow who will adore them endlessly.
