23-08-24 Nifty is a beautiful girl who has come from her breeder to find a loving home. She has come to us with a severe ear infection which our vet is treating. Nifty is shy around people but is very easy to handle. She gets on great with other dogs and is much happier when she is with her kennel friends. She will need a kind resident dog in her new home. She is quite a small size for her breed and gets on well with both male and female dogs. She will need some kind encouragement to help her settle into home life and some support to learn new skills such as house training and how to walk on a lead. She is a darling girl who will truly shine and love her new way of life very soon.

Nifty is an absolute sweetheart in every way. She is still a nervous girl but she is trying so hard to be brave. She wags her tail so hard when she’s around people she’s comfortable with, but she’s not quite confident enough to approach anyone yet. This will definitely come in time, and I think it will happen a lot faster once she’s in a calm and quiet home environment. When you need to handle her, she will run away from you but quickly goes into one of her beds and stays still for you to pick her up. When she’s in your arms, she does settle and actually calms down a little when you stroke her head gently. Like I said .. an absolute sweetheart! When Nifty first gets home she may be a little overwhelmed, but with the help of a resident dog I am really hopeful she’ll settle ok. Her adopters will just need to be very understanding and patient with her, and give her the gentle guidance and reassurance she needs. Harness training will need to be done slowly and carefully, and started in the garden .. that’s once she’s settled of course. The big wide world may be scary for her for a while, so this is something her adopters will need to take into consideration. I really hope she doesn’t have to wait here for much longer because I do feel as though she’s got so much potential - she just needs someone to give her a chance!
Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
