Story
Larka is an incredibly smart, energetic girl who approaches life at approximately one hundred kilometres an hour. Curious, eager, and playful, she loves having something to do and is happiest when her clever brain and busy body have a job. Her favourite activities currently include playing fetch, chasing tennis balls, and learning new games with her people.Larka is fully kennel trained and fully house trained and is making progress with her leash manners. The outside world is extremely exciting for her, though, and she is still learning how to navigate all those exciting sights and sounds. Her family will need to be committed to continuing her training and helping her learn that the world does not need to be managed at full speed. Larka does well with other dogs with proper introductions but would need a home with dog savvy cats or children, along with appropriate boundaries and supervision as she can get over excited and want to herd them.Larka has a very strong herding drive, and she would absolutely love having a job that gives her an appropriate outlet for all that enthusiasm. She is incredibly smart and loves learning, and her foster family has been having a blast teaching her an "out" cue and playing fetch with two balls. She is especially proud of herself when she successfully drops one ball so the next one can be thrown. Right now, her people are also working on simply relaxing in the front yard, where cars, people, and the rest of the world can be a little too exciting. It is a slow process, but Larka is learning.Larka is not looking for a quiet life where nothing ever happens. She is looking for a family who will embrace her big brain, big energy, and very big herding instincts and give her the structure, training, and outlets she needs to thrive. If you are ready for a smart, playful girl who will keep you moving and learning right alongside her, Larka could be your perfect match.
