Eve

Description

Eve who was abandoned by her family is a small to medium sized, high energy, collie whippet x, who was 2 years old on May 29th.

Eve is very affectionate to those she knows, and responds well to training, being food motivated and eager to please. She loves to play with toys, as well as fetch and tug of war. We think that as long as she has access to toys, she isn’t destructive but she does need things to chew. She is good in the crate. House training is ongoing but if you keep on top of giving her regular opportunities outside, accidents are infrequent. She doesn’t have accidents in her crate and is fine overnight. She can be left home alone for a short period (we crate her if we go out and leave her with a stuffed kong). We make sure she has a decent walk beforehand. She is settled when we return and waits patiently to be let out the crate. She loves her walks and does get excited when she encounters new things. She will bark at other dogs when on lead, in a non-aggressive frustration type of way. She will pull hard to get to them and bark a lot, this doesn’t always stop when they meet. Eve has had off lead play with other dogs at the kennels and all has been fine. She sometimes tries to lick people as she passes them and is generally friendly, but if someone approaches her too fast or talks in an overly pushy voice she will bark at them and get annoyed (I think she finds this threatening). She is generally calm in the house once settled in, and seems to learn routines and adapt easily. She does need a decent couple of walks per day, and a garden to play in with high walls as she can jump high. Eve loves to cuddle and will cosy up on the sofa. Eve requires a home in a quiet rural or country area and gets overwhelmed if too many people are coming and going in a home hence she requires a home with one person or a couple. Eve does not get on with all dogs but she is kenneled with Dax a lurcher of ours as he needs another dog and they get on famously. She also got on really well with a young female lab cross of ours who has since got a home. Eve is a lovely girl, she is very loyal and will be a lovely companion but needs time to settle and not too many adventures to begin with.. Eve is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated including KC, worm and flea treated. Home visit and adoption fee apply.
