This little diamond is Bernie. Although tiny in size, she has a huge personality and cuddles.
Bernie has spent a short while living in a temporary foster home with 9 other dogs and sizes. She is most suited to male dogs if she was to share her home with another buddy.
Ideally, Bernie would be best suited to a female-only household because she is incredibly nervous around men and is willing to work with her on this.
Bernie doesn’t know her basic command listens to her carer well, so she shouldn’t take too long to teach. Her recall is really good but will need more work before she was allowed off-lead, especially in busy areas.
She absolutely loves affection and we can offer advice on how to help her feel more relaxed if she is left home alone for short periods during the day.
Bernie does not appear to be house trained so we ask that her new owners are patient with her toilet training. On her foster placement, she hasn’t shown any food aggression or toy guarding behaviours which is really positive.
Bernie is an energetic and perhaps even a home with a dog of a similar size to play with.
