Carrington 24 hour update

Carrington has been with us just over a day. Here is what we know so far. As always.... all this could change over time.


Housetraining – She definitely has some experience.  No accidents so far.

 
Crate- Not a fan of going into the crate at night. She fussed for a short time. But quickly quieted down and was silent all night with a nice clean crate in the morning.

 
Leash- We need practice with the leash. There is no pulling or lunging. She is just “clueless” at this point. No experience.  

 
Food/Eating- She is eating grain-free kibble twice each day with her foster brother with no issues. Not a huge fan of treats. So….currently not “food motivated”, but that could change. She loves to chew on hooves, rawhides, and knuckles.


Socialization-   Very friendly to both dogs and women. Just a small amount of hesitation toward my husband that quickly subsides when he dotes on her

 
Personality – Carrington is a very friendly happy girl, playful and curious. She is a little “busy”. There is currently constant movement. Nothing naughty, just a lot of playing and investigating the house. She behaves as though she has very little experience indoors, or she is much younger than our estimate. To me…. I see puppy behavior. She is just bouncy and full of life.
 

Size/Coat- She is probably at least 25 inches floor to shoulder . I will post actual measurements soon. All I know now is that she is much taller than our Charlie. Carrington is built like a Husky with long legs and a lean body. She has a very soft undercoat with long straight fur over the top. (Very Husky-like). She is currently very thin. We will work on “filling her out”. She was shaved down on her back legs and rear-end., but it has already started to grow back.
