My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Nellie
DOB/Sex: 5/3/23 FS
Breed: GSDx
Known Health Issues: None at this time.
Good with: Dogs! Cats with proper training! Kids with proper boundaries!

Little Nellie is a pint sized bundle of fun! She was sold to her previous owners as a single breed, but I'd bet good money she has something else mixed in. She is very small, and very finely boned. But she has a big personality!

Nellie arrived at Inugoya towards the end of 2023. She was underweight at the time, but upping her caloric intake has done the trick, and she's filled out nicely. She'll always be lithe, but she's developed some nice muscling.

Nellie gains confidence well, and is very excited to engage with new things. A little patience goes a long way! She has a very 'in your pocket' personality, and wants to be with her person, and work!

She has started in an agility foundations class and loves it! She is a soft dog, which makes her very responsive to body pressure, and easy to guide. She is very engaged with her handler, and works well around distractions. She appreciates her space being advocated for, and does not like strange dogs approaching uninvited, and will look to her handler for guidance. It is important that her person be willing to intervene, as she is currently very neutral, and failure to do so, will lead her down the reactive path.

Nellie has already taken a dip in the canal, and proven to be a swimmer! Even though it's not exactly swim season 🤣 I can definitely see some dock jumping in her future. She loves to run, leap, and chase, and would be suitable for just about any canine sport (not a bitework candidate). She is a super fun little dog, oozing a ton of potential, and raring to go!

All vetting has been completed. She is in fantastic shape, and ready to go! Let's get her home 😊 Application: https://form.jotform.com/233466598767073
