Approx Age: 10 months
This is a very special girl who needs an active home and an interesting job!
Nell is only 9-10 months old, she is a Dutch Herder. Dutch Herders are a highly intelligent, active breed of dog and she is a perfect example. She bonds closely and quickly with her handler and wants to please any way she can. She is highly motivated by food but not so much by toys.
She is an incredibly quick learner and would make an outstanding working dog - in disciplines such as obedience, agility, man-trailing or hoopers. She has a fairly good level of basic obedience in that she knows sit, spin, middle, wait and come. It would be fair to say she needs work on her lead walking as she does pull.
We have been doing some scent work with her and she is showing a lot of promise.
Nell lived with young children before. She is an extremely affectionate girl who will demand love and scratches at every opportunity. In her previous home she lives with a older, male GSD and a middle aged, female Malinois. Unfortunately the Malinois did not take to Nell and would often attack her. When Nell meets other dogs she is excitable but will take a reprimand from them if her behaviour is too excitable.
Nell HATES cats and we would not trust her with livestock at the moment.
We are seeking a knowledgeable home for Nell where she can receive all the socialisation and training she needs to help her become a well rounded dog. She is a fabulous girl.
Nell is fully vaccinated, microchipped, treated for parasites and assessed. She has not been spayed and this will be required to be done when she has matured. As such, she will to with a neutering agreement and neutering will be the responsibility of the new owner.
Her adoption donation is £400 which goes directly to helping save the lives of other dogs just like her.
