TN/DOTTIE - BRITTANY (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Brittany (medium coat). Hi Brittany Lovers! Dottie is ready to be your best friend and adventure partner, whether it is exploring nature or riding shotgun in your vehicle! Dottie is a beautiful, smart independent 8-year-old, 54 lb, orange and white spayed female who is full of energy. She loves attention and lovin. In addition, Dottie loves outdoor adventures and enjoys scanning the woods for birds and other critters. Because she has a high prey drive and is also very food driven, she can be competitive and does not like to lose. As a matter of fact, when food is involved, she gets nervous and demanding. Her adopter needs to understand that her doggie nips are not an attempt to bite, but rather to seek attention. Dottie wants to be first; losing to other dogs is not in her barkcabulary. Due to her competitiveness, Dottie MUST be the only dog. Also, only homes with older considerate children will be considered. To keep this sweet girl out of trouble, lots of enrichment is recommended. Given the chance and proper training, Dottie would excel in dog sports such as agility and barn hunt. Due to her keen sense pf smell, scent games in the house and in the backyard would be the perfect activity to keep her mind and body busy in addition to giving Dottie lots of opportunities to win the day! In true Brittany fashion, Dottie pulls and rushes on a leash. Additional leash training is in order. A fenced yard is required for Dottie. She loves to run for the fun of it. Precious Dottie is housetrained and even though she is crate trained, she is trusted alone in the house; however, she is a well accomplished counter surfer and if not locked, will slide open doors with her nose. At her previous foster she wore and responded to an e collar for recall, but her recall was not good without it. Her nose simply gets the best of her! Even though Dottie can be super active and instinctive, and at times, a “handful,” she pays you back with lots of love and affection. She has been well loved and will be a fabulous dog for the right home. Below is Dottie’s furever home wishlist: A home full of love with lots of hugs, snuggles, patience and understanding An active home with outdoor adventures A spacious fenced back yard No fursiblings (canine or otherwise) Dottie would also appreciate the following (though not required) Agility Scent activities Dottie's adoption fee is $350 to offset vetting costs.
