14-04-15 This little poppet is Nala. She is a 6 year old ex-breeding cocker spaniel. Nala hasn't seen much of the world before and new things frighten her. She has some bald areas whoich are probably due to hormones and once spayed her hormones will settle and her new coat should come through nicely. She has never lived in a home or learnt to walk on a lead before so will need a kind dog to help her adjust to home life and be her friend. She will need to learn all about house training too which she will learn best by copying another dog. Nala is like a spring blossom, just waiting for the right conditions to be able to bloom into a beautiful flower. She will need some time, patience and a lot of love but when she blooms you will be so proud of her.
PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
