Poppy (On Trial 18/4/14)

Poppy is a 2 yo female, German Shepherd x Cattle Dog. She LOVES to swim and on a hot day spends the whole day in the shell pool. We took her to the river with our dogs and she had a ball. She walks well on a lead. She is house trained and will let you know when she needs to go out.

Poppy is an active young dog so so she will need an new owner who can give her a walk or run every day. She would love some off lead time on weekends for extra fun. She is a smart girl and dog training lessons would challenge her mind and she would do well.

Poppy eats well with our dogs, but she can be a little too over excited and jump all over them which ends in a wrestle. Poppy is very shy of men, and does get nippy with them – however she has taken to my fiancé and just loves him. So Poppy isn't suitable to a family with children under around 12.

Poppy is very loyal and will let you know when someone comes near the yard.
