Introducing the wonderful Kye a 2 year old German Shepherd girl who is now ready to find an experienced home.
Kye joined us having been abandoned in a lay by close to our kennels back in February. Naturally she was not for leaving the place she was left and was sadly waiting for them to return. They had no intention.
We were called to assist to secure her and thankfully with a little time, patience and not pushing her we were able to leash her and contain her in the van.
Kye naturally bonded with Lisa very quickly. As a Shepherd owner Lisa was confident in her handling and as a Shepherd Kye recognised that. She was however upset and confused understandably at everyone and everything else. Kye did show reactivity to both humans and dogs.
Now 8 months on Kye loves people. She is getting more and more affectionate and silly by the day. The whole kennels team who were once barked at are now playbowed bounced on and smothered with hugs and kisses.
She now ignores strangers welcomed onto the yard but will as is natural still bark at unannounced visitors coming to the gate.
Kye is very much a people dog. She is not keen on other dogs and due to this will need to be the only pet in the home.
When she first landed she would lunge and bark at other dogs out on walks but now she can walk close to them and chooses to ignore them and focus on her walker.
She is turning into a pleasure to take out.
Kye currently weighs just under 28kg and is leaner built but we’d like to see her nearer 30kg as an ideal weight.
Typically Shepherd though she does not tend to keep still in kennels and can at times run on nervous energy and again as can be typically Shepherd can have a sensitive gut. We currently have her on Dechra hypoallergenic though and this seems to really suit her albeit it isn’t a cheap purchase.
With time in a home a sensible fish diet may be able to be introduced.
Kye really does need an understanding experienced Shepherd home with everyone teenage and above. A home where ideally someone is around all or most of the time especially in the beginning. Being a Shepherd she is driven to want to be with her owners and could be a risk of separation anxiety but we feel sensibly settled working alongside ourselves she could learn to be left for a couple of hours in time.
She is not small furry or cat safe.
All in all Kye is a typical young Shepherd female, loyal, strong willed, busy and smart. In the right hands this young girl will be an absolute darling with some work.
Kye is vaccinated, kc vaccinated, de flead, de wormed, microchipped, spayed and has received a dental.
Kye is currently located in Stoke-on-Trent and anyone wishing to offer her a home must be willing to travel to meet her with all immediate members of the family.
