Jemma ~ Greyhound x Mastiff ~ On Trial 2/4/15

Introducing Jemma - she is 100% your new best friend! Jemma was rescued from the pound and she is very grateful to her humans as it shows in her wonderful disposition!

Jemma is approximately 12 months old and is a large mixed breed beauty – she’s a Greyhound x Mastiff (possibly with a bit of chilled out Great Dane added to her mix!). She is a stunning tan brindle colour with long legs even though she isn’t as tall as her breed mix would suggest. She may be only 12 months young but she is very mature for her age. She’s a perfect mix as she’s still a pup but without the puppy stage problems – she’s not a chewer or destructive and she’s easily occupied.

Jemma has impressed her foster family as she has integrated into the “farm” lifestyle with ease! \ She’s been introduced to horses, cats and dogs and she has taken it all in her stride and she has a big stride! In her foster home she borders on hundreds of acres of state forest – so Jemma has taken well to a daily bush walk with her foster mum and doggy pals. Day one on leash, day two, a trial off leash, day three, running with her foster brother and sister with fantastic recall! \ She is a very fast learner. She has lots on energy, so would suit an active family, but is also happy to sit on the front porch and watch the world go by. \ She is low maintenance, with a gorgeous short silky coat, she loves a bath, and enjoys being patted and hugged by her humans. Jemma is best in a home that doesn’t have chickens or pocket pets like guinea pigs.

She is happy to sleep on her bed all night with no barking or bother. She is very food and treat focused so is a pleasure to train. She is very polite and waits for her food, and shows no food aggression whatsoever. In fact you she doesn’t try and steal food from the other dogs while they are all fed together. She has responded well to new commands and in just a few days has learnt to Sit, High 5 and High 10. She’s currently working on “Stay” and will stay for longer each day. Orginally Jemma was unsure about cats so tempted to chase, however after a few days of training she has gotten over that urge. She enjoys chasing her doggy foster sister who chases a ball (although she won’t retrieve the ball herself as she’s not sure what to do with it!)

Jemma is sweet, kind-natured, smart, mellow and very pretty. She will make a wonderful forever easy going friend! Jemma would love a furever home with an active couple or family with older children that can play with her and taker her walking.
