About Ellie ~ 16MO Sharpei X Staffy (FF 23/09/20)
Meet Ellie, a 16-month-old female Shar-pei x Staffy. Ellie is a playful medium sized dog that loves her human companions. She loves to play in the yard as well as chill out on the lounge and have a cuddle.
She knows basic commands like sit and come but would need her new owner to further her obedience training. She loves giving the ones she loves kisses as well as watching the world outside from the window. Although she doesn’t fully understand the point of fetch yet, she is happy to run around the yard or park with you (especially if you chase her). She can sometimes be protective over her food around her foster sibling, but not around people. While Ellie previously lived with cats we have not seen her interact with them.
For Ellie’s new family, she would need someone who is home often as she loves being around her people. While she loves having you around, she will still go off and chill out by herself (usually outside in the sun). She is housetrained and sleeps indoors at night (preferably cuddled up next to you in bed). She would be great with another dog with a similar activity level to her, but an only dog household is preferred. She loves going on car trips and will happily jump in the boot, especially if heading on a walk as she enjoys exploring and sniffing new areas.
Despite her medium staffy build, she can fit through small gaps, so a secure yard would be needed so she can’t escape to explore or get stuck somewhere.
Ellie's favourite toys are ones that she can chew on. She loves meeting new dogs and new people, but the shar pei in her makes her a bit wary and growly at first.
She loves to bark at people and cars that go past the house, so a house where she doesn’t need to be quiet would suit her. She hasn’t had much interaction with little kids so a meet and greet would be required.
