Azumi Go Minegami Sou

Zumi: Being Rumi's only girl amongst 4 boys, she had life figured out long before leaving our puppy palazzo.

Zumi transformed with ease from being Sugu's nemesis to Vanessa and Kevin's unofficial leader of the obedience pack, as well as the definition of the "beauty and the beast".

Beauty, intelligence and stubbornness would describe Zumi best. Her beauty turned Zumi into Vanessa's modelling sidekick. Her intelligence in combination with Vanessa and Kevin's  consequent training made her the first Shikoku being known to have officially passed the Begleithundepruefung (International Companion Dog test). If only her stubbornness wouldn't be preventing her from being an obedience champion by now. Being eager to work and knowing all the lectures, fast and furious Zumi performs by her own schedule and therefore may give all her natural advantages away to the usual Aussie competitors, if she isn't up for it the day it matters. Once a Shikoku, always a Shikoku.

What I personally love most about Zumi are her Rumi-esque features and expression, which make her a blind copy of Rumi despite her athletic built. Apart from that she is a snuggle bug, just like Rumi and her families' guardian angle, that is up for every given  adventure.
