Here's what the humans have to say about me:
At the tender age of two, our lovely Ingenue, Jamie, was on the stroll in a rather seedy part of town, when the Animal Control cops grabbed her and took her straight to the klink. Jaime was even more grateful than the average stray dog to have shelter over her head and regular meals. Apparently she was able to overlook the spartan accommodations.
Jamie made a lot of friends during her shelter stay. She impressed the vet staff with her pleasing personality and earned a good behavior rating. And, Jamie seemed to attract her fair share of Facebook fans. We were thrilled to have this gorgeous girl join our rescue.
Jamie has been described as a Plott Hound, and clearly has the instincts of a scent hound. We suspect a dose of Greyhound as well, because of her lean, racing stance and slightly curved spine. We also see a hint of Boxer in her slight jowels, and brindle coloring. Jamie's coat is a beautiful rust toned brindle, with the striking tuxedo look of a white chest and socks. She has a tall, leggy stance, and weighing in at 43 pounds, is a very manageable size. Jamie is an athletic girl, and the slight curve to her spine makes her seem ready to sprint. She has the form of an Agility champion.
Jamie has adapted to foster care nicely. We see her as a timid, shy soul, who takes a little time to bond with her people. She needs confident, alpha adopters who will boost her confidence through exercise and obedience work. Jamie has amazing potential, and is extremely eager to please. She has already grasped some obedience basics and will work for treats or praise.
Jamie would do well in a calm, but active family, with older kids, who have the patience to allow her to warm up at her own speed. And, she could easily assimilate into the active lifestyle of a single or couple who have the time to focus on a young dog's needs. Jamie could easily join a multi-dog home, with one or two well trained dogs. We think that she would take her cue from an older, well adjusted Alpha dog. We have not tested Jamie with cats, but we think she would regard them with great curiosity, and perhaps give good natured chase.
Jamie needs a fair amount of exercise, and would be the ideal running or hiking companion. She loves the outdoors, and is well mannered enough to travel anywhere. She has excellent house manners and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect the occasional accident as Jamie transitions to a new routine.
Jamie is in excellent health and has been spayed. She is vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper and is negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and and anaplasmosis. If you are interested in Jamie, please write to Denise@eskiesonline.com or call Denise at 720-903-0636 for more info.
