Nikita is our beautiful, purebred Black Russian Terrier. She came to us from Oregon where she was bred from world-class parents. She is a dog who knows what she wants when she wants it –starting from day one when, as an eight-week-old puppy, she ate her food, picked up the empty bowl in her mouth and promptly dropped it at our feet as if to say – “more, please.” The only challenge with Nikita is that she does not like to be alone – EVER. This is why her nickname is the Shadow. The problem is that she cannot always be next to someone which leads to a lot of anxious behaviors and big worries for her. We continue to work on it, and Paige has really taken her under her wings, so to speak, but the poor pup still gets a bit panicky if she ever finds herself greater than a room away. Luckily, her amazing disposition, sweet nature and willingness to love everyone, all the time, make up for it. Nikita also knows the most tricks of anyone on the ranch and will gladly perform them at any given opportunity – for a treat of course!
