There are soooo many different facets of spoiling and then definitions vary between owner to owner - food, behaviour, letting any bad behavior slide, doing exactly what they ask you to, when they ask you to (except opening a door for potty
) etc.
Mine only get cuddled, receive attention etc. when I feel like it. They wouldn't dare jump on or scatch my legs for attention, if they jump up on the side of the bed whining to come up, if I hold up my palm & say no, they'll immediately walk away & amuse themselves. They wouldn't dare beg for food or even watch me eat, they're quite happy to be separated at meal times & the one locked out will not whine or whinge to come with her mates even though she can see them (she's on a diet), she just lays in her bed quietly until I come & let her back in. Most of these things have never been trained into them, they just somehow "know" what's acceptable & what's not - I think this breed has the gift of intuition, an over abundance of it in fact. I feel truly blessed with my tribe.
