About Cinnamon's Breed:

Our best guess is that Cinnamon is a Feist mixed breed. Feist mixes are known for their bright, energetic, and quick thinking nature, often blending the Feist's traditional hunting instincts with a playful, affectionate temperament. They're agile little athletes with sharp minds, making them fun, interactive companions who love exploring, learning, and staying busy. Many Feist mixes are deeply people oriented and thrive when they can be part of the action, whether that's playtime, training, or simply being near their humans.

Their ideal home is one that offers structure, activity, and positive guidance. Because Feists tend to be high energy and curious, they shine in environments where they can run, play, and engage their brains. A family that enjoys daily walks, outdoor adventures, and consistent training will help them grow into confident, well mannered dogs. They do well with respectful children, active doggie siblings, and homes that appreciate a spirited, affectionate companion who loves to be included.

What to Love about Cinnamon:

Cinnamon is all play, all joy, and all heart - whether she's zooming around the yard, chewing her favorite toys, or curling up for cuddles with her humans! She is an active girl who's eager to learn how to be the best puppy she can be, and she responds well to direction. She has a confident, dominant play style and is always ready for fun!

She loves people and greets everyone with enthusiasm, but because she's still learning her manners and can be a bit rough in play, she'd do best with kids over 7 who can handle her bouncy energy. Cinnamon would thrive with a doggie sibling who enjoys active play, though she'd also be perfectly happy as an only dog soaking up all the affection. She's great with dogs who match her energy but tends to bark at cats, so her ideal home is cat free.

Cinnamon is working on her potty training and doing well with consistency. She's crate trained and settles nicely when left alone. She's also learning her leash manners - she pulls a bit because she's excited to explore, but she's improving every day. With her zest for life, love of adventure, and cuddly nature, Cinnamon is ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless puppy fun to her forever family!
