DIXIE

Dixie is a strikingly beautiful, loving-every-moment-of-life, exuberant girl. She had been with a family previously who had to give her up, although they loved her very much. Dixie is cautious of strangers, but with a great appropriate introduction, she can quickly become friends. With her family and people, she's just a wonderfully affectionate, playful, happy dog. Her ultimate favorite toy is a tennis throw toy; she will chase that toy and then prance around, so proud of herself! Dixie loves other compatible dogs and is a boisterous playmate, so she is more compatible with dogs that won't challenge her but will chase the ball with her (and mostly let her win). Her favorite thing in the world is the company and love of a family. She loves to hang out and be around her people.

Ideal Home

Dixie would not be good around cats, and because of her exuberance, older children would be more suited. She has a strong prey drive (will chase a lizard, try to catch bees, etc.), so a person that is able to manage that appropriately would be needed if you intend to do a lot of outings.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned.

Training & Support

Dixie has a lot of training under her belt, which her new family should be willing and prepared to continue for consistency and continued development and to maintain respect for boundaries. When she first came to our rescue, she was very mouthy (not in an aggressive way but playful, or this was how she learned to say hello or get attention as a puppy); she has been doing really well in learning better and more appropriate behavior.
