About Maiden
Maiden is a very affectionate lurcher who only wants cuddles, she came into our care as a stray and sadly was never claimed so is now looking for a new home. Due to how much she loves people and insists on being the centre of attention we has assessed her to have mild separation anxiety and therefore will need to live in a home where someone will be living with her most of the time to help her really flourish and settle in her new environment.
This super playful dog really enjoys playing with toys, especially tennis balls and will zoom around after them. She walks nicely on her lead with no pulling but is a typical lurcher with a high and active prey drive with a alert keenness to chase, so her adopters will need to keep her on lead at all time unless she is is a secure and private dog field, we are currently muzzle training her so if her adopters would like to use a muzzle they must continue this training with this.
Maiden LOVES a treat and will get very overexcited when given them so ‘boring’ treats are good for her so she doesn’t get too pushy. She is very intelligent and knows ‘sit’ and ‘touch’ and we have been teaching her ‘middle’ and other tricks to keep her mind engaged other than just cuddling all the time.She does have a slightly longer coat in some areas so would need brushing every so often to smooth out any areas that are getting a bit knotty.
When meeting new people she can get quite worried but with calm introductions she will grow to love spending time with her adopters as Maiden really is a sweet affectionate dog.
