Description
Ginger was surrendered to us through no fault of her own. She was not abused or neglected. But unfortunately, her family did not have enough time for her. She's a very nice, confident, outgoing, beautiful girl who has a lot going for her! She's already had some obedience training, knows her basic commands in German and is crate trained. Her family reported that she was great with their young children and newborn child. She's an active and intelligent girl who loves to go for car rides and loves to play fetch with the ball. She would benefit from being in a home where she will have daily activity and exercise with a family that will commit to her for the rest of her life. We will provide further updates as we learn more about her.
Updates
Now that Ginger is in a foster home, we have had an opportunity to learn even more about her. She is getting along well with male and female shepherds that are even keeled, well balanced dogs who are just slightly older than her. However, she will not do well with dominant dogs or dogs who inappropriately invade her personal space. She would also do fine in a home as the only pet so that she receives 100% of all the attention. She responds very well to corrections and praise.
In our fenced yard, she is extremely obedient to her commands. She likes her crate and will go in on her own to relax. She rides great in a vehicle. She is a medium activity level girl and is what you would expect from a 5 year old. Overall, she is very eager to please.
,Ginger was returned as she was not doing well with the 6 year old child in the adoptive home. She did do well with the 11 year old child.
,She will require an experienced handler and someone who is committed to attending training classes with a qualified trainer.
