Tana

A gentle, well behaved and loyal companion. A real sweet heart.

- Other dogs?
Yes. Tends to be submissive.

- Cats?
Yes. She may try and play which may result in an injury. She has lived with a cat before without incident.

- Kids?
Teenagers and older as she does not like the ‘’intensity’’ of some young kids. She is a gentle dog and will not jump up. She will fret in a home that is loud or chaotic and will not like being forced to endure ‘’rough play’’ (e.g. a toddler tugging, poking, pulling)

- Size?
36 kgs

- Activity level / exercise requirements ?
Moderate. She needs a good sized yard and loves her walks but if you miss a day she will be fine.

- Escape artist?
No

- Does the dog need company during the day? People/other dogs?
As she is so affectionate she would prefer the company of a person. But she can cope if you work full time.

- Toilet Trained?
Yes

- Likes / dislikes ?
Tana adores swimming at the beach or river. She will chase a ball until she collapses if you let her. Other fun things include tug-o-war, chewing on pigs ears plus chest, belly and shoulder rubs. She dislikes lightning, storms and out of control small kids who overwhelm her.

- Ideal home ?
Active retired people who want a companion. Tana will bond with you and become a very loyal and affectionate friend. She will lie at your feet just so she can be close to you. She will be fine with young kids who visit but prefers a quiet life with no chaos. You will need to be a ‘’hard core’’ dog lover and give her plenty of attention. She would enjoy the company of older kids and other dogs but is just as happy without either.

- GENERALLY
She will alert you to strangers but is not aggressive and is likely to lick an intruder to death. She is not a nuisance barker or jumper but a calm and gentle presence in your life.
