Sophie
Kelpie/Vizla Mix
Sophie is a lovable, happy dog who lost her home when her owners fell on hard times. She is a playful, sweet dog who is good with kids and other dogs. She is appx 18 months old, weighs 48lbs and could benefit from some training classes so she will bond quickly with her new family. Sophie knows to sit on command and is very responsive and sensitive to her people. She does jump up when excited, but this is being worked by her fosters as she is very energetic. She loves to be petted, cuddled and to give and receive kisses!
Below is a bio from Sophie’s foster mom:
With her amber eyes and her solid stance, we think Sophie is a mix between a sporting Hungarian Vizsla and an Australian Kelpie sheepdog. She’s under two years old and weighs a solid 48 lbs.
Sophie is quickly learning obedience: sit, down, stay, come, don’t jump, on your mat, don’t touch, and dinner down. To be her best, Sophie needs at least two to three miles of walking or
running everyday. She walks well on lead, trotting along at your side and looking up at you often. This girl is eager for leadership and structure in her life!
Sophie loves to meet and play with other dogs. She plays, wrestles, and runs hard. She’s very curious about cats and must be in a no-cat household.
Sophie responds well to both men and women. She is spayed and up-to-date with routine shots. Sophie’s house- and crate-trained and rides easily in a car. She does not guard her food and does give up her toys easily.
Sophie is an extremely friendly dog and will greet you with kisses and a wagging tail.
UPDATE on Sophie:
Sophie’s herding instincts shift into high gear when she is around moving
trucks/cars, cats, squirrels, and other small animals. She needs help in
redirecting her focus away from the “sheep” and back to her owner.
