Tilly (On Trial 14/11/12)

Tilly is such a sweet, adorable little girl. She's a 2 year old Mini Fox Terrier. Because she is still young she has lots of energy and is very curious about everything. A family with children to play with her would be great as she loves to chase and be chased. She enjoys the company of other dogs but once she bonds with you she can be a little jealous of any attention given to other dogs. At night she will curl up beside you and loves to cuddle up and have her tummy scratched. She is of course housetrained. She is an inside dog who will need to be allowed inside when the family are home, and to sleep inside at night.

Tilly is fine around cats and chickens. She may bark for a minute when you leave the house but very quickly settles down and will nap and play with her toys and wait patiently for your return.

She is very fast on her feet and slips quickly through an open door, gate or car door. So she will need a very secure yard and need to be alert with opening doors. As she is bright and curious, she is inclined to bark when bored, or stimulated by passing cars, people and other dogs. This could be resolved with training and TLC. Tilly would love the challenge and fun of dog training classes.

Tilly is intelligent, responsive and loving and will be a wonderful companion. She would love someone to give her lots of loving attention, with pats and cuddles. In return she will be your constant friend.
