About Luna Silk's Breed:

Our best guess is that Luna Silk is a Standard Poodle breed. Standard Poodles are intelligent, athletic, and eager-to-please dogs, originally bred as water retrievers. They're among the most trainable breeds, and their low-shedding, curly coat makes them a popular choice for people who want less hair around the house (though the coat does need regular brushing and professional grooming every month or two). They're typically 40 to 70 lb and are known for their playful, sensitive, people-oriented nature.

The ideal home for a Standard Poodle is an active one. They need daily exercise such as long walks, hikes, swimming, or games of fetch, along with mental stimulation like training, puzzle toys, and new experiences. A securely fenced yard is a great fit for burning off energy, but Poodles are happiest when they're included in family life rather than left alone for long stretches, since they bond closely with their people and can get bored or anxious without enough interaction. A family that enjoys training, adventures, and plenty of companionship will find a Standard Poodle to be a loyal, funny, and endlessly devoted partner.

What to Love about Luna Silk:

Luna is a smart, playful, and affectionate girl with a puppy-like spirit and a whole lot of love to give. She's friendly with everyone she meets, though she's especially partial to feminine energy, and she's wonderful with kids of all ages, from little ones to teenagers. Her favorite things in life include squeaky toys, car rides, and a good neck massage (she'll lean right into your hands). A quick learner who's eager to please, Luna is very energetic and loves to stay active. She needs a secure, fenced yard where she can safely burn off steam with her signature zoomies, and once she's had proper exercise, she settles down and is calm and relaxed in the house.

Luna's house manners are a dream. She's potty trained and crate trained, sleeping in her crate at night with the door open, and she can even be left alone at home without a crate while you're out. She walks nicely on a harness and is friendly toward the dogs she meets along the way. When it comes to playtime with other dogs, Luna plays on the dominant side, so she does best with easygoing, non-dominant, or younger dogs who can happily match her puppy-like style. She hasn't met any cats yet, but she's open to a meet and greet.

Luna's ideal home is an active, dog-experienced family who is ready to take her on adventures and hikes and loves to play with her every day! She'll thrive with a secure, fenced yard for those daily zoomies, and she'd do best as either the only pet or with a tolerant, passive canine companion. At 32 lb she's a little on the lean side, but is gaining weight well and should be around 40-45 lbs.

If you're looking for a sweet, funny, loyal companion who will keep you moving and cuddle up when the day is done, Luna Silk is ready to meet you. Come say hello!
