Matcha is a truly delightful and affectionate companion, a genuine "people dog" who thrives on human connection. This cuddly girl loves to be close, often found curled up right by your side. While she enjoys a playful game of fetch and her toys, her greatest joy comes from simply being with her beloved person. Matcha is gentle, intelligent, and possesses wonderful manners, making her a charming and easy-going presence in any home.
As a Yorkshire Terrier and Poodle mix, Matcha embodies the best traits of both breeds: the spirited devotion of a Yorkie combined with the intelligence and trainability of a Poodle. She knows all her basic commands, is completely potty trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. Her low-shedding coat requires regular grooming to keep her looking her best, a process she tolerates patiently. She gets along well with other small dogs and is wonderful 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 when left alone and will bark. For this reason, a home without shared walls is essential. She also requires a securely fenced yard, as she is not reliable with pottying on a leash. Matcha is initially cautious with new people but warms up gently, making her a perfect match for seniors or anyone seeking a devoted, quiet, and incredibly loving shadow who will adore them endlessly.
