Health Issue(s)
- Moderate case of entropion in right eye (inverted eyelid) resulting in occasional teary eye.
- Low grade hip dysplasia.
Temperament
- Very confident and does not stress much in new environments.
- Very much a people dog and always happy to meet new people.
- Can be reactive towards dogs, especially other females.
- Very cuddly and loves attention from anybody. Almost to the extent of being needy.
- A definite licker.
- Loves being a couch potato but also loves going outside for walks as she has bursts of playful energy.
- Not destructive.
- Has possession guarding over high valued items (i.e. bone) with strangers.
- Extremely food motivated.
- Does very well with grooming.
- Needs work on her leash manners. Has a tendency to pull when she sees something of interest.
- Generally not a barker. However, can bark at strangers in her home environment.
- Not good with cats.
Owner Suitability
- Experience with large breeds, especially Rottweilers, is an asset.
- Best suited to a family where there is someone always at home. Although perfectly capable of spending time on her own, she is in her glory when people are around.
- Best suited to a family with no other pets. If there is one, it would have to be an independent and laid back male dog. Jealousy may be a factor with Foxy as she is not big on having to share attention with others. Definitely not cats.
- Although low grade in nature, Foxy does find hardship in managing stairs. As she thrives on being with her people, singe floor dwelling is essential.
