Fern is a beautiful nearly 5 year old female, who has a very kind, gentle nature, she is an obedient girl with a great recall, but sadly she suffers with severe separation anxiety and finds it difficult to be left at home for even the shortest period.
Her owner who is a single parent struggles with working and looking after her little one to give Fern the exercise and attention that she loves. Ferns owner manages her sa by taking her in the car wherever she goes. Fern is happy to wait in the car with no issues, if she’s left at home alone she gets distressed and anxious.
Fern loves attention from adults and older children, but she has no special awareness around toddlers and can knock into a little one if she’s playing or rushing to answer the door to a visitor. Out on a walk she’s wonderful with other dogs and will sometimes play but also likes her own space. Will “tell” other dogs if they are bothering her with a bark.
She once chased a lamb in her much younger days, but otherwise has not been bothered around livestock as she grew up on a farm.
Fern loves the one to one of training and has a good level of training including commands: bed, here, sit, lay down, paw etc.
She is an excellent traveller and settles down quietly and calmly and happily lives with a cat who is her good friend.
Fern has already had several homes within the family due to changes in the relationships so she has lived with children from new born up to 10 years, she’s a friendly easy going girl and as long as people were around her she was happy and settled quickly.
Recently she was living with another family on a small holding and they said that her separation anxiety had improved with their dogs around. But they decided that she wasn’t the dog for them because she didn’t respond to living as a working gundog, even though she hasn’t had any gundog training. So that’s hardly surprising.
If you feel you have the time and love to give this very sweet girl please contact us.
Fern is currently in the Kent area and will be rehomed with her 5 weeks free Agria Insurance and our Adoption Contract.
