Manki, our Swedish princess and covid-kid, is my first co-owned bitch. Manki moved to my close friend Emma to fullfill the empty place after her young malinois that died accidentally. Manki, or Monkey as her official name says, lives up to her name, and there are no boring days when living with Manki. She is an energetic, fast and active dog who wants to take part in all tasks of everyday life. Manki is very hungry and she does not care if the food she finds available is her own kibbles, an open garbage bag or potato skins, she will eat it anyway. Luckily Manki has no tendency to get diarrhea or stomach problems after stolen food. Manki is social to people, but in some situations she might bark to weird looking strangers before getting to know them. Manki lives in a family of two adults and a young child, and she has been lovely as a family dog. Manki was a bit suspicious about running children when she was younger, but after living with a child in her family, she got used to children and is totally okay with them. At home Manki wants to cuddle and to sit in somebody's lap. Manki lives with two older dogs and she is social to other dogs as well. Manki loves to run and she is very speedy when walking outside, she might run quite far away, but she always comes immediately if she is called. Manki has no hunting instinct and she is very obedient in everyday life.

Manki is easy to reward with food and toy. She plays with good drive and usually brings the toy back to handler. For Manki, it's easy to change between food and toy and she is pleased with social reward as well. Manki is not afraid of loud noises and she moves easily in all different surfaces.
