About Katron
Katron is a sweet girl with a real zest for life.
She's kind of a free spirit and enjoys the world best with freedom to explore, play and snuggle. She loves her humans and loves nothing more than sharing a couch with you at night for a cuddle.
Katron has a bit of energy about her and needs room to run around silly, play chasies with a doggy partner in crime, have a rough and tumble, some bitey face and zoomies. Once all the fun is over, she's happy to chill out and snooze the day away in the sun or better yet, at your feet!
Whilst she's fine with other dogs, currently living with 2 others, she's not really a dog park kinda gal as her intense play style is not to every dogs taste. She has some escalated moments of energy and can be intense, so she's best with a calmer and patient but playful dog that will give her the cue that she needs to calm down.
Katron works well in an easy going, calm household with no stress or high energy, which keeps her calmer and relaxed. Anything else will induce too much energy from her. She needs an experienced home that will be able to balance her freedom with boundaries and ensure her manners around the home. She takes direction and is reasonably well mannered.
Great in the car, she happily jumps in for what she hopes is an exciting adventure to the bush for a hike, the beach for a swim or a long walk off lead...luckily she has great recall!
Katron can get frustrated easily in a very restrictive environment (always on lead, small yard, unclear directions / boundaries) and will show negative behaviours. She can show some resource guarding around food or toys but that can be managed and improved with the right guidance.
She is working on engagement, as she lacks eye-contact in situations she is not happy about. She will challenge you in some situations when she doesn't agree with what you want. if she doesn't want the collar on or lead on she will jump around and push you away with her paws and act like a bit of a crocodile rolling. If you rush or grab her collar that's the reaction you will get. if you request a behaviour, and do things in a controlled manner, set up like a training session, then you are good to go.
She's not a perfect girl, she still needs some work, but is pretty darn good in the right environment.
We feel she is best suited to a home with acreage or large yard, someone home most days (besotted with humans), maybe a family with a love of the outdoors that will include her in those adventurous activities. She would love to sleep on your bed but is just as happy sleeping on a comfy bed somewhere near you. Katron could also live with another calm and playful dog at home for those all important zoomies.
Her owners personality plays a large role in her behaviour. If you are chilled & laid back, this will complement her needs. If you are too busy and have too many rules or anxiety this will release the difficult side of her. She is not for the city life, a person not home often or a new pet owner. Katron is sadly not suitable for cats or pocket pets and kids should be older and dog savvy.
If you're after a sweet, smoochy girl with a zest for life and a bit of energy about her, Katron may be your match. Head on over to our Fetching Dogs website, fill in an adoption enquiry and let's see what transpires.

Don't see a breed attached to one of our dogs? That's because we don't breed label dogs of unknown genetic history. We can't guess at breeds but that's okay, because we can tell you about the dog's individual personality, character, and behaviour.
