Name: Flick
Age: 4-5 years
Breed: Shih Tzu
Can I live with Children:No
Can I live with cats:No
Can I live with other dogs: No
Fostered In: Par, Cornwall
This appealing little face belongs to comical Shih Tzu Flick, aged between 4 and 5 years old, who is being fostered in Par, Cornwall. There are some dogs that know their place – Flick is absolutely convinced that her place is on your lap. She is a little bit of a diva who will give a little grumble if she doesn’t get her own way. Typical little Shih Tzu!
She really is a funny little thing when she runs around playing with her toys. She loves to go out and gets very excited. Her tail is always wagging and she just loves to snuggle in by the side of you, or on your lap, for a cuddle – she doesn’t snore either. She is a really fast learner – a clever little dog who will come as soon as you call her. Flick is very obedient for a Shih Tzu and is a real little sweetheart who will make a loyal companion in the right home.
This little lady is fully housetrained and is very settled in a home environment. She likes some adults but will have a little grumble at others – but she is such a cuddly girl who really likes to snuggle! She gets very excited about travelling in a car and can bark with excitement. She is fine with being brushed and having her eyes cleaned and bottom washed. She doesn’t gulp or snatch her food – she is fed separately from the other dogs in the household at present. She gets very growly and shakes her raggy toys around when she is playing – sharing toys with other dogs might be a problem – she would be best as the only dog. She doesn’t want to scale high fences but would probably chase a cat over a low-ish wall.
Flick finds being crated very stressful unless there is someone in the room with her – she is happy to sleep in the crate with the door closed in the same room as her family. She does crave human company and doesn’t like being left, even with other dogs for company.
Flick will need time to learn to trust. She is still a little nervous in her new surroundings and can growl a warning if she is unsure what you are going to do to her although we do not think she would bite unless distressed. For this reason we would not re-home her with children and would like her to go to a home with experience of the breed. She is improving in this respect and her foster mum has been able to clip her nails without any problem. She is wary of people when out on walks – she will grumble first and then look for a fuss! She does need to learn to socialise with other dogs. Going for walks is probably her favourite thing – along with snuggles! She wants to lead at first and then settles to walk beside you. She is best on a harness and is fine with traffic – she will stop at the pavement.
We haven’t introduced her to any cats but given her interest in birds (she nearly fell in the pond chasing the ducks!) – we think a cat free zone would be best. She can be unpredictable with other dogs – so needs to on a harness when out walking to give you better control.
Flick needs a home where someone is home with her most of the time and would prefer to be the only dog. She needs gentle reassurance that all is ok so an experienced home would be best for her. She cannot live with cats, birds or small furries. We would not rehome her with children as she can be unpredictable when stressed.
Flick will require ongoing training in some areas – principally:- socialising, not barging out through the door as soon as it is open, waiting when her lead is on (oh but walks are just SO exciting!), and being left on her own for longer periods.
Flick is wormed, micro-chipped, vaccinated, up to date with flea treatment and neutered. Prospective adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Cornwall.
