About dogs named Mishka

The following are 25 profiles of dogs named Mishka from our database of 85 dogs with the name Mishka.

• “Meet my puppy, Mishka! 🐾 Mishka is a happy, goofy little guy with a cute personality. He's currently training to become my service dog, so he's always learning something new. He knows sit, down, stay, come, heel, place, kennel, wait, leave it, drop it, go sniff, under, backup, stand, touch, rollover, fetch, paw, and "up." He's also practicing settling in public, loose leash and heel walking, and staying calm around people and other dogs. His biggest quirks are that he carefully sorts his kibble by size before eating, loves balancing on his giant pool float, and rolls all over his favorite treats before finally deciding they're good enough to eat. He'll happily spend an hour swimming, chasing toys, or sniffing every inch of the yard. He's incredibly curious, loves learning, and always wants to be part of whatever I'm doing.“

  — Lilly V.

• “He loves to sniff and explore, mostly independent play but will engage with other dogs. He is still intact so some humping is bound to happen.“

  — Kelly E.

• “My name is Miska and I’m a gentle giant who is still learning how to get along with other dogs! I was rescued five months ago from my wonderful owners and they came across Sniffspot, which is perfect for me to sniff and enjoy roaming free without a leash! My owners are working with our Trainer to figure out how to best socialize me with other dogs. I am the sweetest dog with my three grand kiddos. Thanks for providing a wonderful place for me to roam and sniff!“

  — Christopher and Meredith W.

• “My name is Mishka I’m a 6 year old German Shepherd/ Akita mix. I love people and my ball! I’m a very sweet girl who is lazy but also loves to sniff everyone and everything!“

  — Andrew M.

• “I am a little shy at times and get anxious. I like to run around and explore“

  — Erica V.

• “I’m the boss! But not a bully. I’m extra special and have an important job with my human mom as a door greeter in her gallery. I get jealous of my siblings when they get attention but I just push my way to the front of the line! I’m beautiful! Everyone says so“

  — Deana M.

• “While I am a bit shy, especially around men, I LOVE other dogs and love playing chase and fetch. Running is one of my favorite things, only second to treats. I know all of my basic commands and am working on my off leash and recall skills with my Mom when we visit my Nan at her upstate house. Mom is also working with me on becoming more brave and she says that everyday I am improving. My brother (Panzer) will always be my favorite dog and we do everything together.“

  — Michelle P.

• “I am a very big baby that loves my family so much that I bark out of control if anything gets to close.“

  — Teresa P.

• “All things need to be quiet and under control. Then it’s time for petting me.“

  — X X.

• “Mishka is high energy medium size dog. She has her body toy poodle Mars. She is not very friendly to other dogs“

  — Ella L.

• “I’m a 75lbs big boy (intact) who has oodles of energy and loves to meet other dogs! Sniffing new spots is my favourite thing to do!“

  — Faiqah M.

• “I’m Mishka and I am just a happy girl. I love chasing my brothers and hiking with our Mom. She takes us camping too. I adore sniffing intensely along the way.“

  — Sky K H.

• “I am a sweet senior Doberman. I have been with my mom since I was 12 weeks old. I’m not a huge fan of water anymore but enjoy watching my younger sisters playing in the water“

  — Darlene B.

• “Mishka's the littlest pup in our home now & mixed breed also (definitely plenty chihuahua). We adopted him in April 2024, & think he was maybe ~1 year old at the time. He'd had a rough go of it before coming home with us, but has let himself get comfortable & believe he's got his forever home now, which means we get to be delighted by what a huge sweetheart & weirdo he is... lol he fits right in <3 He's also super curious, which him a flight risk too, but would immediately be spooked so we're really careful about secure spaces for him if off-leash.“

  — Christine R.

• “Mishka is an amazing girl. Super friendly and loves to explore and run. Although she is super affectionate and attached she does not have reliable recall.“

  — Judy V.
