Louise is a 6-12 month old, female Lurcher who came to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in November 2006. Young, intelligent girl with good motivations for training, Louise takes a while to show her true colours. Don't be taken in by her initial shyness and innocent looks. She is a crafty little dog who often tries to sway things in her favour. She spent time with the Behaviour Unit to work on her chase issues and owners must be prepared to follow an ongoing training programme advised by the Behavioural Team at Battersea. Louise is looking for:
- People who have owned crafty, intelligent breeds before and who have ideally had experience of having dealt with chase issues
- A home with a garden in a semi-rural to rural environment with some quiet areas where there are fewer distractions for training
- A home with a single carer would be considered if they have the experience and facilities required
- Owners will need to be patient and be prepared to listen to and take advice from members of the Behaviour Unit and follow any ongoing training programs
- Unfortunately, Louise cannot live with young children due to her chase issues. However a household with teenagers could be considered dependant on situation.
- Louise could possibly live with another dog that is confident, non-impressionable and enjoys being with other dogs but they must be a good match and have no issues regarding chase
- Minimal leaving hours initially required so that the time she is left can be built up gradually
- Unfortunately Louise cannot live with cats
