Who guessed correctly?

Coquita is an interesting mix. She is a chop-suey of breeds, as spaying and neutering isn't popular here in Costa Rica.

It will be interesting to see what part of her comes to the forefront as she gets larger.

She is part German Shepherd/Rottweiler/Collie/Husky.

A very interesting mix that is very sweet, thus far.

At this time. . .

She is a lap-dog, wanting to be around everyone all the time. That will change sooner than later. Coquita is very sociable and doesn't like to be left along too much, not surprising.

Yep, she's a big-time eater. . .

And now, she is starting to growl and snipe if anyone comes near her food bowl. . . A true dog of the hotel!

When all is said and done, she will be about 20 to 25 kilograms (break out your calculators; 2.2 kilos=1 pound).

Any guesses as to her lineage?

She is making herself

 Right at home, strolling aroun d like she owns the place. Mini-B and Akila have taught her some lessons on the pecking order of things, though that will be tossed out the window in about 3 to 6 months.

She's a girl. . .

And she is named after a coconut, in Spanish. And, yes, she does like to chew on things.

New addition. . .

To the tree houses family. She already has a name (for the one or two of our faithful followers that peruse our Facebook page, you know what the name is), though how about a guess as to what her family tree is?

There are at least four major influences and we're going to milk it for all we're worth, as the art department stepped up when it got excited over the new addition.
