You can see how Ninja is curiously watching passerbys, an Italian couple that was totally fascinated that Ninja kept his pose and was being directed from a distance đ
„No, You can actually train huskies!“
„It is not easy. This is the result of persistent, day by day training for several years and handfeeding!“
„There are huskies that look like Ninja, but he combines several rare traits in a single dog, hence the ‚unusual‘ look.“
„Only a few percent of huskies have blue eyes, most actually do have brown eyes and few amber oney like Ninja.“

Depending on the people I encourage Ninja to engage with them. Sometimes, especially with children, I avoid that. For one I do not want to teach kids that dogs are children toys and sometimes they do not know how to approach dogs at all… for example I had 2 kids trying to poke Ninja with a Swiss Flag a couple of days ago.
What if he took the flag? They could have been surprised or scared and then everyone would look at Ninja as the culprit. If I grant the contact, they may return without asking… something might happen.

But most of the time, especially younger people, love to approach Ninja and are surprised how open he is… he does not leave much room for respectful distance because he will either try to give kisses, by putting his paws on the chest or by brushing up on one’s legs. The more excited he is being greeted the more open he will be.
