DAISY DUKE

Female, 1-1/2 years, 30 lbs

Meet our sweet little Daisy Duke! She is about 1.5 years old and weighs 30lbs with a short, easy-care coat. Daisy is very people and dog social. She likes to “hug” when meeting new people and at home she loves to follow her foster mom around the house! Daisy also loves to play and wrestle with other dogs and would do great with another young playful dog, preferably a dog her own size or bigger.

Daisy’s favorite thing is the ball! She is super-fast and bounds like a deer after the ball, then brings it most of the way back, flipping it around and playing with it the rest of the way. With her speed, athleticism, smarts, and energy level, she might make an amazing sport, agility, or flyball partner. Daisy also loves the water and is an excellent swimmer. She is a high energy girl who has a lot of drive, so she will need a home that is going to do more with her than walks and ball play. Even though she is active and ready-for-anything, Daisy has an off switch and will settle on the floor after she has had ample activity.

Daisy walks great on a leash and rides easily in the car. She is potty trained, if she is given ample opportunity to go outside to do her business. Her crate-training is coming along nicely. She is a girl who likes to be included, so she is still learning that she can settle down and have some alone time in her crate.

Daisy is both treat and praise motivated. She can be a little bit hand shy at times and will need some patience and a calm, soft voice. With her drive, she shouldn’t live in a home with cats or dogs smaller than her; that said, she would love to have another dog to romp and play chase with.

If you’re looking for a dog who is a great size, a girlie with enthusiasm, smarts, trainability, and agility, Daisy Duke just might be your girl. She is also sweet and goofy and will give you lots of love and cuddles. Daisy is looking for someone who has BC experience and understands the needs of a medium/high drive BC. She would not be the right dog for a first-time dog/BC owner. Our Daisy Duke is a shining star who needs the right direction and lots of love to be her best!

Daisy Duke is micro-chipped, spayed, heartworm negative and on preventative, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
