Enough about pups and back to Dolly… :roll:
Thanks Milyana and Macks for showing an interest in Dolly and her pups. Having seen poor Bruno being returned to the pound, I’m going to be very honest about Dolly’s good and bad ( :oops: ) points.
Dolly does need some re-training but as she was pregnant and now being such a good mum, I’m finding it hard to be firm with her at the moment as she’s enough going on! (Plus she looks at me with that stunning little face and I melt :? ).
Macks – I’m not sure from my experience if Dolly would like sharing your attention. Also, without training, she currently doesn’t seem like she’d be a good companion for your yorkie. However, this is only my opinion.

Good:
1. She is a beautiful little dog

2. She will cuddle you forever and a day

3. She adores adults (she hasn’t met children yet) and welcomes them with tag wagging.

4.She LOVES going for her walkies and walks well on the lead and was very well behaved when walked with my 2 dogs.

5.She is a good eater and eats her dog food and is now getting used to treats.

6. She is fairly quiet but likes the occasional little fit of barking in the garden. She is however very quiet compared to my 2 dogs.

7. She sleeps all night in her own area (now with the pups) and is quiet until woken up.

Bad(ish)
1. She is a dominant dog. She gets along nicely with my 15 year old JRT as they both do their own thing and don’t bother each other. She growls and is not happy in the company of my 7yr old yorkie who is much more interactive. She makes no attempt to play with either of my dogs. She also stalks them in the garden when they are piddling and then puts her scent over theirs – guess it’s her way of saying she’s boss!

2. She is not used to dog toys/play – she growled when Tio and I played a game of tug – I think she thought he was attacking me. As she’s only around 2 it would be nice to see her being silly and playing. She is very mature for her young age – the only fun thing I’ve seen her do is rob tissues or serviettes and shred them??

3. She is toilet trained but sometimes can’t be bothered :twisted: and will go wherever she happens to be. She will NOT go outdoors in the rain and will piddle indoors :twisted:

4. She is very jealous of my 2 dogs when I interact with them. She will move closer and closer to me trying to block them from getting at me. She even growled at my golden oldie when my sister rubbed her! I think Dolly would be more than happy to be Number 1 and only dog. However this could change with training……?

If anyone has any questions about Dolly, post them and I will answer as best I can. I will say, it’ll be a sad day in this house when my little Dolly leaves me.
