She's a sweet girl who enjoys being near her people and greets them with enthusiastic wiggles and a wagging tail. Nona is social and has enjoyed meeting new friends, including a young child, and doggy pals. She can be a bit stubborn, which only adds to her charm, and loves to playfully nibble chins and share her toys. She's clever and enjoys puzzle toys. Nona is highly motivated by toys and treats, making training enjoyable. She has mastered "sit" and is working on leash manners. She enjoys walks and exploring.

Her adorable underbite makes her goofy expressions even cuter.
