Meet our utterly gorgeous girl Eva who has come into us from the stray pound where she was literally booked to be put to sleep because there was no space/rescue offers for her, thankfully we were able to make a kennel available and save her life, promising to give her a new start, never to be in that situation ever, ever again!
Since coming to us Eva has been nothing but a super affectionate, friendly, if not a little excitable, loving girl who relishes in all the fuss she can get! She does jump up, mainly for fuss resting her paws on your waist but she might not suit younger children as she would likely bowl them over accidentally.
On the lead she was very strong however we have introduced her to a Gencon headcollar which took some adjustment but she is now walking beautifully!
Eva loves her walks and is an active girl so will certainly need an equally active home for plenty of adventures, she does like to cram in as many sniffs as she can but she is also very attentive with her handler so listens to your commands.
We do think she has had some input as she can sit, she half knows 'down' & 'sit' but we know she is a clever girl and would absolutely soak up new training like a sponge, she just wants to please and loves her food - which she takes very gently too!
In the playpen she does like a run around, lots of sniffing and will also chase a ball but her retrieval skills will need to be worked on or her new human will get their steps in retrieving the ball themselves 😀
Eva seems to like other dogs, she does get excited though and can be quite over the top lacking in some manners but she hasn't shown any aggression whatsoever, we do however think she would be best off as an only dog till she's learned to be calmer around dogs.
Overall Eva is a beautiful pup on the inside as she is the outside and will make someone a very happy owner!!
Little Polly has come into us as a stray so sadly alike many before her and undoubtley many to come we have no history or knowledge on her previous life 🙁
Since coming into us we have found out lots about her and we feel we know exactly the home she needs and wishes for.. so lets hope we can find one soon so she is settled in time for Santa!
Polly can and will walk nicely on the lead but if she can get away with pulling and sniffing she absolutely will, so she will need someone to keep her in check and that lead loose.
She is a typical busy bee Patterdale who could walk for miles and still have enough energy for zoomies so she will need an active home but equally one to shower her with affection as she is super cuddly and affectionate!
We think someone has put a little bit of work into her as she can sit and takes treats very gently, there is however room for improvement to build on her obedience and commands so training classes would definitely help this little lady!
We have walked her around and with other dogs, she can be vocal at times but once settled and told 'no' she can enjoy her walk without having to shout to the other dog, she isn't so comfortable at up close encounters though she hasn't done anything here she does go very still and certainly gives all the vibes that she doesn't want to say hello so will need a dog free home.
Overall with a bit of work and guidance Polly will get up to speed and be a fabulous little dog for someone to enjoy plenty of walks with!
The gorgeous boy has found his way into us after being found as a stray. He may look super sweet (which he is) but don't be fooled by the "butter wouldn't melt" look. He is a hooligan!
Typical bouncy and boisterous pup who has had no training whatsoever. He does have the most amazing outlook on life just as you would expect from a young Lab and every day he greets you with the waggiest tail. He just cannot contain his enthusiasm for life in general - every day is one big adventure but this tends to be conveyed by jumping up, dancing around and pulling like a train on the lead.
He is a foodie as you would expect which does help with training but can sometimes get distracted - he does try his best though!
Joey needs an experienced and very active home who will set rules and boundaries and really take his training seriously. He needs both mental and physical stimulation. Could live with another dog. Not cat tested. Older children or adult only home due to his exuberance. He will make the most amazing allrounder given the time and training 🙂
