About Dime:

Dime is a medium-sized, female Heading Dog, aged 1 years old.

Description:

Will suit a family with a female presence.
We took on a heading bitch who is just over a year old. She is an absolute sweetheart – but has a timid nature when getting to know you.
Our shepherd here didn’t get on with her and ended up just getting frustrated, so we offered to take her on for the last 2 months for her to gain confidence. She is interested in stock but unfortunately the lack of confidence means she won’t make a great work dog for hill country. She absolutely loves us now, and has a really gentle nature which is great.
Unfortunately, this was always going to be short term as we have enough work dogs of our own and just wanted to help in her gaining that confidence to be able to find a permanent home she deserves.
She will be amazing for someone who has had dogs before, so that you can carry on the training and boosting confidence :). She will only go to a family with a small block or lifestyle block with 20-100 stock units as she needs the space to run.
Will eye anything in sight, will also run out but just needs a little extra encouragement for a full head.

A little one on one time is great and she deserves to be given a great home. She is good with other dogs, has been around 20 odd different working dogs. She has also been around my horses and just stays out the way.

She also does a very cute little front paw tap dance for food and in the mornings when you let her out her kennel.
Has only ever lived outside – variety of foods as normal – wormed and vaxed regularly.
Toilet trained for outside kennel –
never been around children – but her nature is so loyal/ gentle I wouldn’t say you’d have to worry.
we have chickens – but wouldn’t leave her alone with them, fine with them walking around with you there.
Not de-sexed

A bit about Dime’s personality:

She is an absolute sweetheart – but has a shy nature when getting to know you.
Really lovely nature and loves people when she gets to know you – really favours the ladies, but it now used to my partner and will go with him when called and running other work dogs.
