Sadie - Neapolitan X Akita -HOMED

Sadie joined us today, some of you may remember our darling Blu the Neapolitan well he is her Dad and then we had Nikita in and Nikita is Sadies litter sister, will get some photos tomorrow lovely girl, her mum is an Akita, she comes in through no fault of her own, she is now 7 months old,

edited to add Photos

we actualy got a write up from the owner this time for Sadie it reads

"My name is Sadie My mum is a Japanese Akita and my dad is Blu Neapolitan mastiff I believe Blu has gone to a good home with you

I love water I have a paddling pool at home

I like settees, cuddles, children, the only badness I have experienced is a bad electric shock off of the fencing in the horse field, since electric shock I'm very scared and won't come out of the cage in the van

I have lived with my mum all the time and only parted a few hours a day, but we are now fighting over scraps of food, I eat everything and fed on complete biscuit and fresh tripe whenever I want it

The only reason I need a new home is my owner works full time and used to take me with her to check the horses after work but I don't like the open space because of my electric shock

I need someone to spend time with me I'm ready for training although I'm trained in walking, sitting, back (stay) and of course I'm toilet trained"

Think the free feeding was the problem with the fighting over scaps of food with her mum, she will now be fed twice a day and they bowls picked up

although she is in a crate I have put Tizer in a crate next to her, fed them both in the crate and they eat is as good as gold no problems between them

I have showed Sadie electric fencing (mine does not give a shock as I do not have it connected to a battery it is just up as fencing she walked up to it no problems she walked under it no problems and she walked around the field without a problem, she has met a few of the dogs and she shows very good dog language and no issues shown at all

She asked to go out to the toilet by giving a little bark when she needed to go

I took Sadie for a walk today and once she got over the excitement of going she settled and walked beautifully, just with a normal collar.
She loves fuss and attention and will need someone who can give her plenty of training and time.
She is still very much a puppy!!

Sadie will hopefully be moving to foster tomorrow

Thank you Donna for all the hard work sorting out this transport run and thank you Corrie for taking Sadie under your wing I am sure you will make her shine

much to Alannah's digust she was planning on a short move to the kitchen me thinks!!!

Dog walks past unfamiliar reactive dog Same as above
Sadie is very appeasing and I believe she has been hit; she is very eager if not too eager to please and will show a lot of appeasing behaviours. Sadie needs a strong but no confrontational owner who will correct the unwanted behaviour without damaging her confidence. It has been reported from the previous home that Sadie did show food aggression issue with another but, but both dogs were allowed to free feed. Sadie has shown no aggressive tendencies so far. All these behaviours were shown at the time of this assessment conducted by Shaun Aldridge (Ruff Diamond Dog Training); however these behaviours may change in different circumstances.
