DOG of the MONTH for JULY – LASSIE.
It's the turn of this bonnie wee white and black girl to have a month in the spotlight as July's Dog of the Month and hopefully secure her forever home.
LASSIE has now been waiting nearly SEVEN MONTHS for Lady Luck to call. Here's what you need to know - LASSIE is -
* a teeny pocket-sized hound
* only 4 years old
* sociable walking with the other hounds (boys and girls) at kennels, both on a leisurely saunter or focused squirrel spotting
* so affectionate and as cute as a button
* an eye catching girl, with a black and white coat, prettier still with a dappling of spots on her back
* excitable when first meeting other breeds but does calm. She will get used to the unfamiliarity with more socialisation
* a girl with a lovely nature.
On her first park visit, LASSIE need to be lifted into the car. Once in though, she settled quickly. She did perform little jumps and circles and was a little giddy when seeing other dogs in the park.
On her second park visit, LASSIE improved and was manageable with a harness and she soon calms down. She mainly walks well on a lead, at her handler's side. On the path in front of her, she saw a westie, although she was initially calm as it walked quickly ahead, she got excited to meet and did a spin.
She saw a corgi in the distance, again similarly calm then spun in the air! LASSIE seems ok with passing car traffic but when a car was passing playing loud drum and bass she was scared. Perhaps the girl has taste and is more of a fan of folk music and blues!
LASSIE encountered a yappy yorkie in a garden. She wasn’t so bothered by this and on meeting it with owner was ok initially but did a little excited lunge after a few minutes. She also met a bichon frise’ close up and whilst standing still she got used to it being close and wasn’t bothered by him. Understand that all these stimuli are a lot for her to take in.
While lovely LASSIE has her spurts of giddiness in unfamiliar surroundings and when meeting strange dogs, she has a lovely nature and has been really sociable here at GRF. She showed no reaction when a German Shepherd popped up and surprised her just outside the kennel gates.
LASSIE potentially could live with another dog but there would have to be managed meet and greets, to ensure she would be compatible.
LASSIE is such a wee character with so much potential and she really shouldn't still be here.
