Wow! Who wants to look forward to a New Year full of fun ?
Then please meet Tia.
This super, very petite, little collie bitch has been handed in to Newport City Dogs' home by her owners, who found that a farm bred collie and an autistic child were simply too much for them to cope with.
Tia is only eleven months old and has obviously been much loved. Her previous owners were very sad to have to part with her and, whereas many dogs are handed in to rescues with nothing more than their collars, she arrived with a big bag of her toys and possessions.
Tia has obviously received a lot of basic training. She will touch your hand with her nose, sit and down, on command and also offers her paw. This little girl is really responsive to people and loves to play.
Please throw the ball one more time……..
Tia was born to be a farm dog and, as such, has the instincts and activity levels of a dog who can be both physically and mentally active for long periods of time. She can also get excited by noise and movement, in common with many collies. When free-running with another, strange, dog, she was fine, initially, but in the absence of any distractions, got a little over-stimulated and noisy.
She would thus suit a home with previous experience of collies.
We didn’t see Tia with the resident cat, or with children, though she has lived with a child, but many “worky” collies are best placed into homes where any resident children are older, as their working instincts can occasionally lead them into trouble with chasing and nipping.
As a former agility competitor, I feel that this little girl has the ability to be a real prospect for this sport. She is small and lightweight. Probably not “medium” (though I may be wrong) but would certainly measure into Standard at UK agility competitions. She also loves to retrieve balls, so flyball is another possibility.
Whether you like dog sports, or not, this young lady is in need of someone who will give her a very active and interesting lifestyle. Couch potatoes need not apply!
If you know anyone looking for a willing little training partner, please contact Cardiff Dogs Home 029 2071 1243 or visit Cardiff Dogs' Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, open 7 days a week, 10.30 - 4pm or pop in for a visit! No appointment needed!
