"I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing!"

Since Titja has always been the intelligent one, Nadja as our pack's second member is known as the family's "brainless" and "stupid" dog. She's energetic and funny in her own ways, doing stupid stuff and getting everyone to either laugh or piss off at her. The more she gets attention, the happier she is - she loves petting, treats and sometimes she'll even try to get everyone's attention by barking or jumping against them.
She loves running just as much as my other dogs, or even more. She loves picking up random objects into her mouth and carrying them around while running. Nadja really loves being free, she never stays too close to people and doesn't want to let herself get caught too easily - unless you have some treats with you, without them prepare to play endless "tag" with her.

Nadja is probably the most silly (in a good, humoristic way) dog in our pack - at least in my opinion. In order she is definitely the second right after Titja at the moment. She has a hidden tough guy inside her, testing her limits all the time.
She's quite timid and unsure about many situations. When meeting random dogs on a walk she usually barks at them and goes wild. At unofficial dog shows, match shows, being close to other dogs was first fine but nowadays she only barks in there without getting silent at all. Nadja isn't too open, so she's careful with new people that she meets and she needs her own time to get used to them before she lets those people pet her. Too bad men scare her the most for unknown reasons. A lot of new situations and places make her to stress easily and as I've heard a quote, "fear creates aggressiveness", she releases it out later on in her own pack for the most small or non-existant reasons. I got told once that she's only quite bossy in her pack, but I find there to be a lot more stressful reasons behind the whole behaviour.
Recently she's just been getting worse and worse and controlling her aggressiveness has became harder.

Our little Nasu-Piglet really does love all kind of treats. So far I've found only 2 things that she does NOT eat: summer squash and raw rhubarb. For food she likes almost everything so we use treats when training her. Too bad she isn't that intelligent and learning different things is really hard for her - learning to lay down took her almost half a year! Once learned, she does know what's being asked though, but she might not do anything unless you have a treat for her to thank her for a well done job. When training, she's a really simple-minded dog and takes her long to understand.
Nadja isn't too trustable of a dog so you can't let her run freely everywhere you want to. She might decide to flee and pick her own way or just run in circles as if saying "you can't catch me, hahah!". She also barks at strangers so they might not appreciate her doing that. Without knowing her simple - yet too difficult - way of thinking it's impossible to predict what she's gonna do next.

Nadja is the kind of dog that might not catch your heart from first glance, but once you get to know her good sides and she lets you to pet her, she'll become a wonderful friend of yours. She's really dumb and cute in her own way, easily becoming a "lap dog" when needed. Not only is her fur soft, but she's like a teddy bear! Even though as an owner I often joke about her being a cat - with all those expressions in her face, way she carries her tail and the way she stretches - back straight up!
Compared to my other dogs, she's like Day & Night. Always causing harm, but still belonging to our group.
