Jasmine is a high
energy 3 year old female looking for her forever home. She
is tricky to introduce to new dogs- she does not warm up to
them well, but she can be managed with the right handler and
the right setup. She is okay when she passes them on lead,
but when forced to socialize with new dogs her problems will
arise. With some dogs it can take weeks and others two or
three hours of being near them before she can be allowed to
socialize closer to them. Even afterwards, she will still
need to be monitored as she can and does snap if they don't
show her the level of respect she wants. She has many alpha
traits and if she is to have another dog in the house, the
other dog must be pure Beta and they will always have to be
monitored while together.
She is a great
puller while sledding and bikejoring. She is excellent with
kids and absolutely adores them. She is a cuddle bug who
will curl right beside you and keep you warm on those cold
winter nights. However, Jasmine is very vocal about what
she does not like and will not hesitate to bark at you from
her kennel or crate. She is also a hairy houdini- gates are
not even a challenge as she just flips the latch and away
she goes! Got a fence in the way? Hope you have a
foundation around the entire setup as she is also a digger
and will slip under. She has shown no penchant for climbing
them like other huskies, but that doesn't mean she couldn't
learn from another dog. She is smart and observant. She
knows sit reliably and is still working on her down command.
She is also potty trained, but needs to work on signaling
better since her current method is the same as when she
approaches for attention and can be confusing to her humans.
On lead she is about average for a husky who loves to pull.
She will need a strong, fit handler or she will be off like
a shot. Her recall is about 50/50, but your odds improve
with a treat in hand. She is very high energy so potential
adopters need to have the time to go out with her on long
walks or time to spend outside monitoring her houdini habits
while she does laps around the fenced yard like a crazy
girl. |
