Described as quiet, friendly, excitable at times. She barked a lot in the cage, but didn’t bark at all during assessment. Keeps herself very busy. She had a good reaction to the other dogs in cages. Tried to run away from an aggressive dog. Her health is good except for a gunky right eye. She came to her pen gate to greet tester. Allowed a teeth check and fully body handling, including paws and tail – which were a little touchy, but she showed no aggression. She comes when called every time. Requires some training, but she’s very intelligent, may make a good working dog. On lead she walks ahead or beside and circles occasionally, but does not pull at all. When off lead she follows within 1 metre of you always. When cars drove by, she sometimes hunched down as though she may chase them as they passed. Wanted to chase the goats too but was easily led away. Overall she’s a nice girl requiring a little training.

Observation Notes: The grand old man of the pound, no-one really knows his real age, so the 10 years is an approximation. He likes his cubbyhole, but was courteous enough to venture out to meet me. He is friendly, calm, & well behaved. After his photoshoot he went back to the comfort of his blanket & cubbyhole. He seems to have a lovely character about him. I hope is is taken from the pound soon. Adopted from the pound! Yay!! Read the rest of this entry »
