Story
Jasmine is an affectionate dog that needs to be working and active. She would do great in a home with a jogger/walker, hunter etc... she is very bright but very bored. She is never left alone, a family or person where someone is there all the time would be a good fit, if I leave I hire a pet sitter. She is well trained and trained to an e collar, she likes to run off leash. She woud be fine as an only dog, she loves to cuddle and also could work with a dog her size. She would be perfect for search and rescue work. She loves lure coursing. She has a ton of potential for someone that is active and ready to train. I am a retired police officer with a disability and not able to give her the exercise and mental stimulation she needs. Jasmine is 22 months old. Vet references required. Also must be within 80 miles of my home in Felton, de. 2 week trial period to see if it's a good fit for everyone, if you are not willing to do that then please do not apply. Thank you.
