06-12-22 Dotty is a sweet but little girl who has come from her breeder to find a loving home.  She is feeling a little overwhelmed in her new surroundings at the moment but is growing in confidence daily. She will allow us to handle her but at the moment she will freeze when we pick her up. She eventually relaxes a little and needs more practice being held before she is enjoying it. She is much happier when she is returned to her kennel to be with the other dogs. She wags her tail a little, glad to be back with her friends and then trots to her bed to go back to sleep! She will benefit from a kind resident dog in her new home to help her relax and settle into home life and help her learn home skills she has never needed before such as house training and how to walk on a lead. She will need a calm home with someone who has plenty of patience to help her begin to enjoy her new way of life. Dotty will need a home without cats or small furries.

Dotty has been in her foster home for a two weeks or so now. She is a happy little 4kg girl and has accepted being in a home no worries about noises or household items. She eats well but does have soft food as had 22 teeth out. She sleeps well on our bed at night.
Toilet training is a work in progress, as she seems to have a dislike to rain and it's been doing a lot of that!!! She was doing much better in the chilly dryer weather. So this needs some perseverance.
Dotty likes to be around her people and is happy to be cuddled and loved. During the day she sits in a bed around us either in the kitchen or lounge area. She gets on well with our dogs and any others she meets, as there were ten dogs together boxing day.
She has had her second vaccination now so can go out for walkies, which she enjoys and walks well on a lead. We have only been to parks and woodland etc. She hasn't done any road walking yet. She is a joyful cheeky little girl who likes to chatter along to you to get her point across. She would also like another friendly smallish dog to keep her company and learn some more basic skills from too.

Dotty has come on in leaps and bounds. I can safely say she is a small dog with a big personality and full of confidence. She likes her people and loves to sit with you. She can be possessive about things she likes, eg people and food, but does respond to being corrected. She loves to be around and follow other dogs but can tend to try and be bossy with them if submissive. If they put her in her place she’s fine but I feel a very submissive dog wouldn’t be the right match for her unless it’s much bigger than her 4 kilos!! Having said all that she is a funny, joyful, playful character, she does get on well with dogs we meet outside and visiting dogs where we set her boundaries and expect her to keep them.
She gets very excited about her meal times and eats well she also walks nicely on a lead, her toilet training has much improved but she’s still not keen on the rain and tiddles inside rather than go out in it!
Dotty is a great little dog but does need an adopter who will set her boundaries.

Dotty is doing well in foster but does have a sensitive tummy so she will need to continue with her food for sensitive tummies and this may well be ongoing, under the guidance of her new vet. This does mean for the time being she wont be able to have lots of treats so please bear this in mind before you apply for beautiful Dotty.
