About Magpie & BrownieđShih Tzu x JRT(On Trial 15/12/23)
These two are easier than oneđ! Magpie (girl) and Brownie (boy) are a bonded pair of Shih Tzu x Jack Russell Terrier dogs. Theyâre only 2 years old. They are very easy dogs to have around. They keep each other company and will make you smile every day to see how much they love each other. đ
đ Magpie (we call her Maggie) and Brownie are just the sweetest, most loving couple. They might be brother and sister. They get along very well with other dogs. They love being around people and will happily follow you around the house with wagging tails. They like to sit next to you but they arenât clingy.
They prefer to be indoors so theyâd be fine in an apartment with a balcony or in a villa with a small courtyard. They are housetrained. They donât bark much, even when the other dogs bark, they usually donât join in.
They donât shed so theyâre good for people with allergies and wonât drop hair around the house. Of course, that means theyâll need professional clipping approximately every 6 weeks. Magpie is black, grey and white and the smaller of the pair at 4.8kgs. Brownie is brown and weighs 6.2kgs.
Because they keep each other company, they are fine at home alone while you go to work.
Maggie and Brownie are not used to going for walks so their foster carer is slowly getting them used to being on a lead; just in the backyard for now. With some more time and practice, theyâll learn that walks are safe and fun.
They havenât been tested with cats but theyâre placid dogs so theyâd probably be fine. They love food and treats. Theyâre a little bit timid so theyâre not suitable to a busy household with young children.
Maggie and Brownie came from a country pound but were rescued right away before spending the night. They were dirty and matted and a bit thin but were otherwise in good condition. Their coats are growing in beautifully and are now soft and pretty. They will get even more beautiful as their coats grow a bit longer.
Maggie and Brownie have been vet checked and are healthy. Theyâre young and eager to please and ready to find their forever home where theyâll bring lots of love and amusement.
