Update from Vacation Foster - Bella is absolutely amazing with a gorgeous silky coat. 1. Very affectionate and loves to cuddle. Wants to be around her humans all the time. 2. Is a big foodie. Loves eating boiled eggs, bully stick, apples, banana etc. 3. She walks well on the leash with occassional pulling if she spots another dog or human. She is easily redirected with treats, so that's what I do. After the first day, I switched her from the prong to a body harness and she walks just fine. We took her to the beach yesterday and had the prong on since it was a new place for her with lots of humans and dogs around. We transitioned her to the harness after 25 mins of walking. 4. She did not want to get into the water at the beach, perhaps she just needs more exposure. She tolerated the bath after the beach trip. 5. She knows sit, down and shake. Someone trained her, perhaps the family that returned her or the breeder. I think she also knows "touch", whenever we are on a walk and I say touch she boops her nose against the back of my hand. 6. She is housebroken. She had one pee accident. She drank a lot of water after her evening walk, so probably couldn't hold it anymore. 7. She tried to test boundaries with us on day 1 during dinner. She ate her dinner and when we sat down for our dinner, she was very vocal. We ignored her and continued our meal. She hasn't done that since then. She will still walk around while are are eating hoping to be fed human food, but we have been firm with her and she now knows that she will not be getting any human food. She's a quick learner. 8. She jumps on us when excited, In the mornings once she's out of the crate she gets excited and will jump for a few mins. If you redirect her with treats, she stops jumping. 9. She sleeps through the night in the crate. I keep the crate door open during the day and she occassionally goes into it for a bit and then hangs out with us. 10. She rode very well in the car for the beach trip, not sure if it was because I rode in the back seat with her. She was laying down and napping for the most part. 11. She is a sock thief. She will grab the sock as you are trying to put them on or will grab it just as you take them off and wants you to chase her. She doesn't chew or rip them. Similarly, she does not rip her stuffed toys. Introduction - Bella is a sweet petite young girl. She came to Lab Rescuers after being returned to the breeder for unknown family issues. Bella is a typical puppy with bursts of energy - she loves to instigate play with other dogs - then takes a break for a nap. She rode well in the cars for transport, walks pretty well on leash and seems potty trained. She is being vetted and will go to foster soon, so watch for updates as we get to know her needs and find her ideal home.
