Welcome Cambree

Cambree has been with us 48 hours and here is what we know.

What a doll

Housetraining : She definitely has some background knowledge. We had just one accident. Just need to brush up on the basics.

House Manners: Hasn’t chewed on anything. No scavenging. No jumping on the furniture.

Leash Manners: Very good on the leash. It’s almost like she is “heeling”. There is no pulling and she walks calmly by my side. This may change as she gains confidence and becomes familiar with her surroundings, but for now she is a breeze to walk.

Eating:  Gobbles up her kibble twice a day, and is looking for more. She is VERY hungry and could use to gain a few pounds. That being said, there is no food aggression, and she politely waits for her dish. She also takes treats gently from my hand.

Crate Trained:  She goes in the crate easily, and sleeps quietly thru the night. She also spends time in the crate during the day while I’m at work without any problems. We have been giving her hooves and pigs ears to work on while we are gone, which she just loves.

Dog Friendly: She tolerates our Charlie just fine, but shows no interest in playing. (Poor Charlie) They eat together and spend time together on the rug “chewing”, but do not really interact. This may change. It usually takes the fosters a few days to warm up. We will keep you posted.

Toys: She currently has no interest in toys. Prefers to chew on hooves, knuckle, etc.

Personality:  Cambree is quiet (not a peep), gentle and a little submissive. I believe she is used to being held. She will come up to me, curl herself into a ball, and look up and ask to be picked up. She is not fearful, but cautiously curious. She explores the house, and does not react to loud noises or voices. She does hesitate when my husband goes to her, or wants to play. Not afraid. Like I said…. She’s cautious. She will eventually play with him, but she will make sure it’s OK first. She has apsolutely no problems “playing” with me, and would love me to just sit with her ALL DAY.

Size:  Sorry, I did not take measurements, but Cambree is a great size, and maybe a little bigger than the typical “lap dog”. I will give her measurements on another post. She could stand to gain a pound or two, which would put her at about 20 lbs. all filled out.

Coat: Her coat is a very dark grey, or charcoal  with a hint of brown on her feet and muzzle. And SOOO very soft. The softest coat I have every felt. It’s amazing. She is a little ragged. Perhaps someone had to cut out mats, and then she was shaved for her spay. She definitely needs it to grow out, and then get a proper grooming. She has had a recent litter of pups, and we are working on getting her girlish figure back. Fresh air, plenty of exercise and high quality food and it won’t take long. She’s gonna be one BEAUTIFULL girl.
