Kumma is a home-mouse, a dog you simply can't help falling in love with! She's bright and knows which strings to pull in order to get what she wants. Kumma's benevolent appearance makes her irresistible and she knows it herself. She has a dominant character which she however hides successfully: she knows, which characteristics we people find annoying and which charming.

 

At home Kumma's a rather invisible person. Most of her day she spends in the bedroom sleeping in bed under blankets and wakes up in the afternoon (moves herself to the livingroom couch) when we get home. Food is one of Kumma's great passions in life and she never ever misses a chance to have a small bite, whether it's question about a slice of pizza or a piece of sallad. Guests Kumma welcomes with joy though total strangers have to be on a short probation period first. Those privileged that have got their ways to Kumma's heart, can experience her overflowing love. Kumma's bravura is "suffocating": she cuddles up to face with her entire weight to ensure a maximal attention.

 

Otherwise Kumma is the personification of comfort. She enjoys all the little things in life and doesn't ask for much. Sunbathing and lying in someone's lap are the best things in life! My mother always says that Kumma's a very humane dog, since you really don't have to be an expert in dogs' emotional lives in order to know what's going on in Kumma's head! She has a various selection of different facial expressions and gestures!

 

Mostly we've been to dog shows with Kumma but used to go track racing practise as well when she was younger. She's done well in shows and so far the judges have appreciated her upright attitude, calm temperament and feminin appearance.
