chelsea Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 We've had her just over a week. Rescued from Southern Counties GSD rescue. We are her fourth home in 12 months We think (and also our vet does) that she is actually younger than a year - she is very "puppyish", still mouths in play and has lots of black puppy coat which Bracken had when she was young. She's settled in very well at home (only one little accident). Is going to require lots of socialisation though - has never been walked and likes to chase cars, bark at other dogs & people. She almost bit the vet today when she went for her innoculation. Poor thing needs lots of love and attention which should help with this. We re-named her Skye after the Isle of Skye where our beloved Bracken enjoyed 6 annual holidays - so we think this is a fitting tribute to her.

Space Chick Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 She is gorgeous, and will be a lovely dog once she has been loved and given proper training and confidence. Heartbreaking that she has had 4 homes though, poor darling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
