Yara is a small, curly-coated sweetheart who has mastered the art of the quiet life. She has fully embraced the comforts of home, and is house and crate trained. She is the ultimate work-from-home partner-calm, easygoing, and perfectly content to nap nearby while you tackle your to-do list.

On the move, Yara is a dream companion with impeccable leash manners and a fondness for steady twenty-minute strolls in quiet areas. She is a composed traveler in the car and handles grooming with ease.
