Yoshi is a short stocky girl with great bone, coat and tail set when she is not wagging vigorously.  She is extremely agile and has great conformation and can easily walk great distances on her hind legs, usually in front of my to hoard my attention.

Yoshi's ear was injurred by a visiting bitch and I mistook the severity, assuming that when a punture wound healed it would stand back up and it did not.  We might eventually choose to surgically correct this.  Yoshi yodas her ears often to begin with so having one half way down looks especially goofy but we love her just the same!

Why that name?  I had always liked the name Yoshi so I knew I wanted to name this young lady Yoshi before she was even born.  I tried to find something suitable that matched it.  I had been having some bad luck around that time and had just moved and felt like I needed a change and that is exactly what Yoshi's name represents - a friend about to change one's luck.   Yoshi has certainly lived up to her name.  She is a cheerful, agile and TOTALLY dedicated girl!  She gets along with everyone, even two females that don't get along with packs because there were not raised in one.  She has always gotten along with everyone unless they pick on her because she is so mildly mannered she often will not defend herself.  Because of my life's turmoil when I got Yoshi she was BARELY socialized yet she is extremely social and super obedient!  I took her out for her first REAL outing at 2 years, otherwise she has always stayed inside our home and visitors are a rarity other than to pick up puppies.  On her first outing we went to Chic Fillet and had breakfast where she got petted by everyone that walked by our outdoor table, some employs and several tiny children whom she covered with kisses very gently as is the "Yoshi Way"!
