Poppy is a 12 12 months outdated feminine Springer. She got here in to foster with one other canine when her proprietor handed away. Though each canines have settled in foster they don’t seem to be getting together with one another at occasions and so they now have to be separated. Poppy could be greatest in a canine free residence so she will have all the eye to herself and never should share her issues (she will get very apprehensive about this).

Poppy is a really affectionate canine, likes to be stroked and settle alongside you however in case you are busy, she is going to discover a comfortable spot and quiet down. Beware she is a thief – tissues and comparable papery gadgets might be shredded and eaten given the chance as will cardboard tubes.
I’m instructed she is going to eat socks too, however she hasn’t had the chance in foster. She likes to steal cloth issues and sneakers and take them to her mattress, the place she is going to guard them however has not chewed them. When on walks she has typically been blissful to say whats up to most canines however has snapped at a few cocker spaniels after nostril greetings.
We’ve got visited pals with small canines and so they all received alongside collectively very nicely. Her guarding and resultant reactivity to different foster canine appears to be restricted to the house therefore suggestion that she is just canine in residence.
She has lunged, growled and grabbed (no wounds) her ‘foster sister’ within the residence however no aggression between them outdoors the house. She loves a stroll however slows down after about 30 minutes, at present walked twice a day. She loves her meals and doesn’t counter surf. When you find yourself making ready meals she is going to go and settle.
When you find yourself consuming, you have got a brand new greatest pal however will settle when nothing is forthcoming. Poppy is extraordinarily blissful to satisfy new folks, particularly males. She will get very excited and tries to leap up however will cease with a agency ‘no’, after preliminary greetings she calms rapidly.
She did bark on the postman as soon as however has greeted different callers to the home like lengthy misplaced pals. She’s going to chase cats and birds, not been out with livestock to check, I anticipate chickens could be a bit too attention-grabbing.
Poppy doesn’t seem to know many instructions. She is aware of ‘wait’ however little or no else, we’ve been engaged on ‘drop’ and ‘off’ which she is going to do in response to treats however not with out but. She’s going to fetch and drop a ball, and typically involves her identify. I used to be instructed she was good off lead however haven’t tried this out and about as recall will not be very constant at residence.
She walks nicely on a lead and a protracted line. She may be very meals motivated however typically this works in opposition to us in coaching as she goes right into a little bit of a frenzy and may’t concentrate on the coaching activity as she is simply in search of the deal with (even when it’s simply kibble).
Poppy is content material to be left, she is crate skilled and settles nicely. She travels nicely within the automobile. She was nice at her vet test, blissful to be dealt with in all places however not eager on having her tooth checked out.
