Ioma the dog
Ioma is hiking with me since November 2016 and she is one of the best hiking buddies I can imagine.
I have collected some FAQ around Ioma that I am going to answer here. Of course, if you have some more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
I have already answered some of those questions more detailed in some blogposts and I linked those posts for you.
What breed is Ioma?
Ioma is not a special breed. She is a mix out of a lot of different breeds. After living with her for quite some time now, I think she might have some of the following breeds included: Pomeranian, Spaniel, Chihuahua, Boder Collie, Husky.
But to be honest: I think she is everything and nothing! :)
What gear do you use for hiking?
When I take Ioma hiking we have a few special items I am carrying for her. Additionally, she has a special harness and a good leash for sports. I already posted a bit about it here.
She also has her own backpack. I made a DIY for you here!
How did she come to you?
I adopted Ioma from a shelter in Switzerland, but she is originally a stray dog from Romania and I don't know anything about her past. That's why sometimes life can be a bit more challenging with her, as she is afraid of a lot of things and deals with it by barking.
