Pretty Daphne is 8 years old and by all accounts a sweet natured and friendly dog. On arrival our assessor was not greeted with the usual Shepherd bark of welcome and was immediately allowed to make a fuss of Daphne with cuddles and kisses.
Daphne has lived with very young children and was completely unfazed by a 4-year old clambering all over her during the assessment and it is because of this, possibly at least in part, that Daphne's energy belies her age.
That said Daphne's energy and excitement levels will also reflect that she is now only walked on rare occasions and this is the reason that her owners are looking to rehome her as their expanding family does not permit them sufficient time to devote to Daphne. It will be for this reason mainly that Daphne pulls on the lead, certainly on the outbound part of a walk although we understand that Daphne walks really quite nicely on the way back. Daphne's recall is very good.
Daphne is good with other dogs enjoying sleepovers with a friends Dachshund but is not a fan of the cat or rabbits. Daphne does have a dislike of small wheels, not the first time we have come across this particular quirk in behaviour, but this limited to wheelie bin size wheels.
Our assessor was very much taken with Daphne and would have taken her home with her if she could, so smitten was she with this lovely lady, does Daphne move you too? Daphne is looking for a family who can give her the love, time and attention that she needs, could that be you and your family?
