Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a sensitive, smart and affectionate young gal looking for an adventure bestie.

This pretty gal has begun learning her basic commands. She has started long lead training. She gets the gist of sit, ground, and leave it. Nutmeg is crate trained and sleeps through the night. She travels in the car well.

Nutmeg has wonderful inside manners but does still jump up or gently put her paws up on your knee to greet. Nutmeg does love running after a ball or frisbee although she is learning to return the toy after a passionate run to it. Nutmeg's recall command is pretty good and she likes to immediately sit or flop next to you feet on return. Although Nutmeg has basic training, she would benefit from ongoing work in order to keep her stimulated.

Nutmeg has great manners at mealtime, and is gentle when taking treats even in the presence of other dogs. Nutmeg thrives on routine.

Nutmeg is generally timid in new situations and requires a patient handler who will allow her time to adjust. With gentle guidance and praise, it doesn't take long for her confidence to shine through. Nutmeg bonds very quickly with people.

Nutmeg initially likes her space with other dogs and people, but it isn't long until she wants to join in on play, receive pats and cuddles. She is generally cat friendly - curious but knows her boundaries and often avoids her foster cat sibling. Nutmeg has not been tested around horses, cattle, sheep, chickens or children.

Nutmeg is quite gentle and submissive. She would suit another gentle doggie pal, or would cope well as an only dog if her active owner was home more often than not, and willing to socialise her further. Nutmeg would make a lovely offsider for someone in a rural area, or non built up suburbia. Due to her young age, she would be suitable in a family with older kids, or an active family willing to include her in adventures.
