Yes ON HEARTWORM PREVENTION? Yes ON FLEA/TICK PREVENTION? Yes GOOD WITH KIDS: Extremely loving with our 4 kids. Very loving even around babies and toddlers who pull her curly tail. She has been an excellent dog with our kids for the past 4 years and we hope to find another home for her with kids because she truly is so sweet and amazing with children. GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS: We have 3 dogs and she is super friendly and playful with them. She barks at unfamiliar dogs and does need time to adjust to new dogs. GOOD WITH CATS: Unsure, but probably would need to be introduced slowly until she became familiar with any new pet. OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE DOG: She is named Zippy for a reason- she is FAST and loves to run and get her zoomies out. Our yard is small but she goes with us to my parents’ house in the country and she absolutely loves to run around and is always good about staying close and coming back inside with us. She would make an excellent farm dog. The kids walk her in the neighborhood and she does not pull; she even runs next to the kids when they use their scooter to walk her so she can run. She is a great watchdog and she has a territorial prey instinct try to chase every critter from the yard. She is used to sleeping with the kids in the bed with them, but is also happy anywhere in the house at night. She does not like to be in a crate, but honestly has no behavioral issues that make a crate necessary. She does fine when we board her for vacations. She is perfectly house trained and does not chew anything except her toys/bones. She is super playful and will catch balls that you throw up to her, and she is so sweet and loving and will sit next to you on the couch and snuggle. Please ask me any questions you have as we desire to find the best fit for Zippy.
