20-09-2024 Meet our lovely Winter! She has come to us from a breeder and when you enter her kennel she is quite brave and if you offer her your hand she will sniff it and give it a gentle lick but if you move it to stroke her she will back away. Winter does allow us to pick her up and is eady to handle once in your arms. Given her lack if confidence around people Winter will need a home where there is at least one other dog to be her friend and support her as she gets used to living in a home as she has never lived in one before. She will watch what they do and then start to copy them which will help her with house training and lead walking etc. We would consider homing Winter with older very kind and gentle dog-savvy children who understand they will need to give her time to get used to them. Her adopters need to have plenty of patience and love to help her learn and be sure she is comfortable walking on a harness and lead in the garden before taking her for a walk in the outside world. Winter has a PETS travel document.

I met Winter for the first time today and I could see that she was a very reserved girl. I hate to think what she's experienced in her life to make her so afraid of humans, and so I decided I didn't want to push her beyond her comfort zone and disturb her too much.
As I was fussing one of her more confident kennel-mates, she came over to me herself for a sniff! She didn't want any physical contact from me yet, but that was okay, I could see that she would get there in her own time. As I was talking to her, her tail was wagging and she kept coming up to me and running to the back for safety, and then running up to me again, so it was clear that she was very interested and wanted to say hello, just her shyness was getting the better of her. I fully believe she can overcome this! She has the benefit of her kennel mates who can be a role model to boost her confidence. Winter is a shy girl who doesn't want to be shy anymore, she is curious and needs a patient companion to guide her into the big, wide world. With understanding parents, she could blossom into a very sweet and loving pet.
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.
