Gemma ~ Foxy (On Trial 15/5/15)

Gemma is an adorable little fox terrier that is about 3 years old. She is a very cuddly little dog and would make a very good little companion and watchdog as she is so alert and smart.

When she first arrived she was a bit cautious with us and not interested in playing with our golden retriever but through time and gentle reassurance, she has settled in really well and has become relaxed and comfortable with us and our dog Archie. He has taught her to play and tear around the backyard.

Gemma follows instructions easily. Originally she would jump up on the lounge but after putting her down once she didn't try to get up again and this is true with other instructions.

Gemma would be a suitable pet with children of all ages. She is still learning basic training so that she walks more easily. Her new family would have to continue this training with her to get the best out of her, as she is very intelligent we don’t think it would take many lessons to achieve this.

Gemma was surrendered and has not displayed any concerning behaviour. She is very good at sneaking in the back door if given half a chance so good fencing would be important. She is ok outside when no one is home but is an inside dog and really does prefer to be with people whenever she can. She is very good with visitors and is quick to roll over on to her back for a tummy rub.
