What kind of home would be best for me? Puppies are active, agile little babies, they need homes that are ready to tire them out both mentally and physically. What matters most to a puppy is a happy and excited owner ready to take on loving and training their new puppy! While our ideal home for puppies has another young dog in it, Amelia could be adopted to a home where he is the only dog as long as there is a solid plan for regular socialization a minimum of 4 times per week.
Socialization occurs when dogs are off leash and free to be themselves, unencumbered by human restraints (other than the fence that keeps them safely contained). Socialization times would be for instance, inviting a neighbor or friend over with their dog to play in your fenced yard or going to someone else’s home to play in their fence yard. Socialization time could be doggy daycare. Socialization time could be a group walk if you include a playtime at the end of it. Training classes do not always include socialization time. Some puppy classes do include a period of time at the end where the dogs can romp and play together. This would be perfectly acceptable. Time can also take place inside the home, it does not have to be an outdoor area, as long as the dogs are free to interact with each other without leashes or other restraints.
When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can!
What is my personality like? Cuddly, Adorable, Bashful! Amelia is a little shy upon meeting new people, but quickly opens right up! She is very sweet and very submissive! Amelia is also a people pleaser, constantly seeking out attention from her caregivers and other employees here at the farm! We expect that with this type of personality she will be a highly trainable dog! She is very smart and picking up onto commands and manners very well. She will still need continued socialization and public outings to get rid of that shyness! Amelia loves other dogs.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Amelia is a little shy upon meeting new people, but quickly opens right up!
Other tips and tidbits: Amelia was born 6/17/24
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn’t keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
