Marley

Marley is an 8yr old English lady who has been used for breeding. With Tia, she went into foster with Lisa.            

PERSONALITY

Marley is a confident girl who is happy to meet new people. She doesn’t play with toys but does like to paddle in her paddling pool.  Her tail does not stop wagging if she is with a human!

She is calm and laid back, alert and inquisitive and surprisingly confident, playful and happy.

Marley is a really sweet girl who is just craving for love.  Despite her previous life, she has settled into living in a house really well.  Her confidence grows daily and if allowed she would happily sit on the sofa with you.  

HEALTH

Marley has a good coat and, overall, is in good shape.  Her teats are very large but that is to be expected having been a brood bitch.  Her “trousers” and tail have been clipped but the fur is starting to grow back.  I am using Plaque Off and raw bones to help clean her teeth and they are looking much better.

SOCIAL LEARNING

TRAVEL:   Like many ex breeders, Marley shows some reluctance to go in a car.  The actual journeys are ok but she is not keen to stay in the car.  I am securing her to the car with a lead so she cannot get out when I open the door.  I think she will soon learn that cars can actually be good things.

HOUSETRAINING: Despite having lived outside, Marley has not had any accidents in the house and has barked to ask to go outside. 

BASIC TRAINING: Marley has had very little training but she loves being groomed and was happy to have a bath.

LEADWALKING and RECALL: She walks `loose lead’ with a slip lead Once she sees her lead she heads to the front door so she has learnt what walks are very quickly!

Marley knows her name and responds well when you call her. 

RESOURCE GUARDING: Even with 6 dogs in the house there has been so sign of food aggression. 

SEPARATION ANXIETY: I would rate her as a 4/5

ADULTS and CHILDREN: Marley is very friendly with adults. There is no sign of fear with males or females and she is very happy to be with children. 

DOGS: She is very friendly with other dogs. Overall, Marley is a super girl that fits into a household with other dogs really well and I will miss her little face pushing against me when she goes.

CATS: She seems to be fairly cat friendly. I do not have cats but we have walked past several cats and she has shown no interest in them. 

MARLEY’S DREAM HOME

Marley is a lovely friendly girl who would fit easily into most households. As long as she is treated kindly and cherished, as she deserves, then she will be very happy and will give her forever owners her total loyalty and all her love.
