Nikki (aka Gable Nikki)
Nikki is 2 years old and is affectionate and attentive. She follows me everywhere and is always in the same room with me!
She is in foster care with small and large dogs and gets along well with all but can play a little rough at times. She loves her daily walks and walks easily on leash.
Nikki wants no part of the crate but really doesn't need one as she has shown no destructive tendencies. She stays gated in a spare room when we are gone and sleeps on a dog bed in our room at night. She has had no accidents in the house.
She does, however, have a few "quirks." She will come up to me with kisses but she needs to be the initiator; she does not like you to get in her face or hug her. We have been unsuccessful trimming her nails or brushing her teeth. She initially had an issue if she was grabbed by the collar but that has passed. Also, I am guessing she does not like baths based on her reaction when I tried to wash her muddy feet off with the hose. I plan to continue to work with her on these things but they currently pose a challenge. Something has happened in her past that makes her very uncomfortable about certain things.
Nikki needs a home with an experienced dog owner who will assume the alpha role in the house. I believe a home with other "large" dogs would be fine but no children or cats.
If you are up to the initial challenge I think she will be worth it in the end.
