About Hollywood
Hollywood is a 5 year old Boxer x that is full of genuine emotion and affection. She is a clever girl who is very aware of her surroundings and loves to come sit next to you on the couch or bed for you to give her attention and cuddle.
She just a med size girl weighing in at 32 kilos
Hollywood came from an absolutely TERRIBLE home where she was used as a breeding mum and when she arrived to us she was so skinny and so exhausted she could hardly move and she had 13 puppies feeding off her !!!!
She is a lovely girl with a huge heart and will only go to the most loving of homes that will love her FOREVER
She does not ask for much. Just a loving home and a gentle hand
She is a very friendly girl who will make her future parents very happy! When she is excited and happy to see you, she will start running around and stretching showing her enthusiasm and readiness to play! She is very good with adults and children alike.
Initially when she came to us she was a little dog reactive ( she was a mumma) so this can be explained but after the puppies had all been adopted she still barked at other dogs on walks. We sent Holly off to a training camp and since returning she has now been solicited with others off and on lead and really enjoyed her time. She seems to have more confidence with another dog and even wanted to play !
For this reason we are going to be seeking a home with another dog for her as we feel this is definitely best for Hollys future
TRAVELING IN THE CAR
Hollywood loves her car trips
Hollywood is calm and does very well in the car whilst traveling. She likes to either sit and relax or look out the window and watch and breathe in the fresh air of the outside world.
FOOD
Hollywood can be a little food fussy and she's not a huge eater . She is living her Prime 100 and will graze on dry kibble. We have found chicken and mixed vegetables mixed in with her dry food to be her favorite
OUTSIDE
After Hollywoodâs training, she does very well with other dogs in the backyard. She is very playful and excited when playing with another dog. We think she will be very well suited to have a male dog friend who she can share a fun and enjoyable time with. She is hwn on her own a backyard snoozer lol
BATHING
Hollywood is ot a fan of a bath and would rather eat cat litter than get a bath
VISITORS
Hollywood is a happy and warm girl always after some affection. During her stay with us, she has been in contact with both adults and children and she is very friendly and likes to get close for a massage or a cuddle. No issues with stranger interactions at all.
As Hollywood had very clearly been abused prior we would prefer her to go to a home without boisterous young children as to not frighten her as she is a very gentle girl
ENRICHMENT
We have not seen Hollywood interact with too many toys. She enjoys just relaxing sitting with us indoors or in the backyard.She has the occasional game of tug o war
When her family are at work she has access to inside and out to go where she chooses and this keeps her very happy
ENVIRONMENT & INDEPENDENCE
Hollywood enjoys both her indoor and outdoor environments. She loves to be with her family at most times and knock on the door if she is outside telling you âplease let me in, I want to see you!â When Hollywood is indoors and would like to drink or eat, she will direct you to the door and stand there until you open it up for her for her feed and drink!
WALKS - LEAD EXPERIENCE
Hollywood prior to coming to us had clearly not been on a lead before and although has improved a lot still can lack lead confidence unless she is walking with another dog
We walked her last week with another dog and she was a completely different girl and actually seemed to have a great time and enjoyed looking around at all the new things
She doesn't like to have her lead pulled taut and does freeze up if you do this so its a gentle hand all the way
OBEDIENCE
Hollywood is an obedient dog who listens to instructions when asked to come, understanding instructions such as âcomeâ and responds to her name.
INSIDE
Hollywood is a very good girl indoors. She typically likes to sit down on the couch, bed or even near a window gazing outside.She is not destructive in any way since in our care of 5 months and really just enjoys being a couch potato
DOG SOCIALIZATION
After her dog training, Holly is very friendly and playful with other dogs. We have seen her interact with a male dog and loves to get close and enjoys his company very much.
SLEEP ROUTINE
Hollywood sleeps indoors comfortably at night around 9pm and wakes up at 7am. She sleeps throughout the night without any issues at all.
TOILET TRAINING
Hollywood always goes to the toilet outdoors. If she is indoors and needs to go, she stands in front of the door letting you know âlet me outâ! She is full house trained
MEDICAL
As perdantant toa boxer breed Hollywood has a grade 2/3 heart murmur that does not require medication at this point We had a echogram completed and specialist reported no treatment required but a follow up each year would be advised
