Other dogs: Purdy has lived with other dogs both in her foster home and her home prior coming into the care of NESSR.
Description: Purdy is a typical working cocker spaniel. She is busy all day and every day. Purdy came into the care of NESSR with ingrown eyelashes (entropion). As can be seen by the photograph above she has had her operation with her stitches due out towards the end of next week.
Purdy is learning to interact with her foster brothers and sisters and has started to play with them with tug toys etc. Purdy will need lots of mental stimulation such things as flyball, agility etc. It is not felt that beating and or picking up would be feasible due to having had eye surgery.
Purdy loves her walks and is happy to chase a ball and retrieve it. Her recall is pretty good too.
Due to the fact that Purdy was kept in a garage prior coming into the care of NESSR her house training is a little lacking. However this is coming on in her foster home.
Type of Home Needed: Purdy would be happiest in a home where she will be stimulated mentally as aforementioned, as well as being physically challenged. She will need to go to a home where people know this breed well.
Location: Purdy is being fostered in Bedfordshire and new custodians must be willing to travel to meet him.
Status: Available
