If you are looking for a smart and cuddly girl with supermodel vibes, look no further…. Valencia is here!

She is a gentle, well-mannered girl who enjoys giving you sneaky kisses when you least expect them.

Valencia is happy to chill and entertain herself during the day while her foster mum works from home, loves big hugs, absolutely adores her squeaky/soft toys and enjoys napping on her favourite armchair! She is a happy camper and an easy-going girl who is just so full of love and affection.

She is friendly, affectionate, good with routine, playful, energetic (with an ability to switch off as required), not aggressive and receptive to commands and your vibe. Valencia is everyone’s friend!

She hardly barks and is very friendly with visitors. Although she is a bit timid at first however, in no time she will be enjoying pats and cuddles from her guests.

Although quite large compared to the resident fur-sisters, she is very gentle, and lives extremely well with them. She doesn’t mind sharing her bed, toys and her space.

She is also good at being home alone with the resident fur-sisters without any destructive behaviour. However, ongoing training will be beneficial.

She has shown no signs of food aggression or resource guarding and trusts her people. However, some supervision at dinner time will be helpful if you are feeding multiple dogs at the same time.

Valencia would love to go to a home with a similar sized dog as being quite a young dog, she enjoys a good run around and playing with her doggie mates. As her energy levels are moderate, she would be happy with a medium sized backyard with regular walks, visits to dog parks, beach walks, hiking trails and all other adventures you could possibly think of (only after sufficient training, trust and bonding is achieved).

She travels extremely well in the car and loves looking out of the window, watching the world go by.

Valencia walks reasonably well on lead and doesn’t have a strong pull, however, she will benefit from continued lead training with someone who handles her with confidence as she is very intuitive. After sufficient training in a fenced area, she has the potential to be a great off lead dog as well.

She is already doing well with commands like sit, no, go slow, come here, go to bed etc. She also waits patiently for her food and treats and enjoys following a routine.

Valencia sleeps through the night (in her crate) and is toilet trained. Some training to use the doggy door will really help her to have a good mix of indoor and outdoor time. She is best suited for a home where she is included in activities, adventures, and everyday life as much as possible.

Teenagers or upper primary dog-savvy kids will be good for Valencia. Not tested with young children although she should be fine with them after sufficient training and supervision.
