IS DOG CURRENTLY ON ANY MEDICATION? IF SO PLEASE GIVE DETAILS. no

ANY KNOWN MEDICAL CONDITIONS? No

IS THE DOG GOOD WITH PEOPLE? Brooke is a very sweet girl, she loves to meet people with a waggly tail and a lick end enjoys her cuddles. She can be cautious of men and needs reassurance when she is nervous, and soon relaxes and wants the fuss. She spends her evenings after her last walk cuddled up on the sofa either with myself or the children.

HAS THE DOG BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHILDREN?

Brooke has been in contact with children as young as 2 years old, she is gentle with them and will give a lick to say hello. She adores my 15 year old son and is very confident around teenage boys. She loves to play with the football and has her own football in the garden. She is food orientated and will try her luck at children that have food.

COULD LIVE WITH CHILDREN? yes

OVER 6 YEARS? yes

IS THE DOG AFRAID OF OR REACTIVE TO WOMEN? MEN? OTHER DOGS? OTHER ANIMALS? HOUSEHOLD ITEMS? THUNDER/LOUD NOISES? ANYTHING ELSE? Brooke will bark when the doorbell goes, but not for long. She looks for my dog and when he isn't showing signs of fear or reactive she knows not to react. She wasn't sure about fireworks the other night but looked to my dog for comfort which did help her to continue on her walk. She is a friendly dog and isn't afraid to check out the dogs walking past.

IS THE DOG GOOD WITH ALL OTHER DOGS?

Brooke lives with an older male labrador who she looks up to and finds comfort with. She is a quick learner and will follow his lead. She has gained lot of confidence with him by her side and likes to meet other dogs and instigate play, especially if they are young and energetic as she is. She is happy with big and small dogs, old and young. She is often in the house with 2 other dogs, my dog and a female spaniel that she is happy to play with and be around.

HOW DOES THE DOG NORMALLY INTERACT WITH OTHER DOGS? Brooke likes to instigate play and loves running around with dogs.

HOW DOES THE DOG REACT TO CATS? OK ,At the moment because my labrador chases cats away she has followed this. When she is on her own she is inquisitive but doesn't seem to mind they are there. I am yet to see her in close proximity to cats so wouldn't be able to comment whether she is ok with them.

IS THE DOG RELIABLY HOUSETRAINED? yes, she knows to go to the door when she wants to go to the toilet

CRATE TRAINED? OR NOT USED A CRATE WHILST WITH YOU? yes, Brooke is left in her crate during the night and day when we are out.

IS THE DOG RELIABLE AT DOORS/GATES OR PRONE TO BOLTING? She was when she first arrived, but now will wait on command or will walk by my side to the car.

HOW IS THE DOG ON A LEAD? Brooke needs more work on lead, she is treat led so when I walk her with treats she is lovely to walk by my side.

RECALL: GOOD RECALL?

She has good recall in the garden and house. At present she is on an extendable lead so can't really comment on out side of the home. She is treat led so I think she would be good knowing she will get a tread when she is called. I do take her to training classes and she will walk off lead by my side in and out of cones and other dogs and walks like a dream.

DOES THE DOG HAVE SEPARATION ANXIETY? I have noticed that since Brooke has worked out the routine, she is happy to go in her crate when it is time for us to go to work/school, I don't hear anything from her. If she is put in her crate and I take my labrador out she doesn't like it, but is happy when she is with him. She doesn't cry for long in these circumstances, however, I believe it is because it is out of routine and doesn't happen often.

IS THE DOG AGGRESSIVE WITH FOOD? TOYS? ANY KIND OF RESOURCE GUARDING? Brooke is fed in a separate room to my labrador so I am not sure, once she is finished, she will allow my dog to finish off the food in her bowl or just lick the bowl clean. She will do the same once they both have finished. I haven't seen her react when my dog has her toy.

HAS THE DOG EVER BITTEN ANYONE? no she hasn't.

IS THE DOG OBSESSED WITH BALLS? OTHER TOYS? Brooke loves footballs and tennis balls. She loves squeeky toys. Tennis balls she loves chasing, will come back but needs persuading to give the ball up!

DOG'S FEEDING ROUTINE: HOW MANY TIMES A DAY IS HE FED? Brooke has a mixture of dry food soaked and tinned food for breakfast and evening. She is fed around 6.45am and 5pm. She is treated with Gravy bones when she goes in her crate on us leaving, when she is back from her walk, and at bed time.

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND THE DAY? Brooke is in her crate when no one is at home, when I am working from home she is free to roam in the kitchen and living room, she spends the day going from her crate for a snooze to the sofa.

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND THE NIGHT? Brooke will sleep in her crate with the blanket over. My dog is in the next room. She has slept in the bed with me on the odd occasion and is no bother at all, she loves a cuddle in bed and will stay in the same place all night until my alarm wakes up!

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND TIME IF LEFT ALONE IN THE HOUSE? Brooke is left up to 3 hours in her crate.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S PREFERED BEDDING AND PLACE TO SLEEP. In her crate she has towels and a sleeping bag, and sleeps in the kitchen near the patio door.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S CURRENT EXERCISE ROUTINE: Brooke is walked 2 to 3 times a day. At the moment she is on reduced exercise so she is walked for 20 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon and evening. Prior to her recent spay op and when she is fully fit I would walk her for 30 minutes in the morning and between 45 minutes to an hour in the evening. At weekends I would take her for 2x 1 hour walks. She has walked up to 3 hours with me when I was in training for an event. She loves walking on the river banks and along the fields.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S ENERGY LEVELS. Brooke is quite energetic, she loves to play, loves her walks, but after her evening walk she loves nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa. She would benefit from living with a young dog that matches her energy levels.

NEEDS A LOT OF EXERCISE/TRAINING/STIMULATION? yes

HOW IS THE DOG WITH GROOMING? DESCRIBE HOW HE COPES WITH BRUSHING, NAILS, BATHING ETC. Brooke is happy to be brushed, washed/bathed, and will have her paws wiped clean.

She is extremely receptive to training and loves the classes we go to. She is really good with my teenage children, she loves instructions and is very kind and loves playing.

DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. Brooke will be suited to a household with a young dog that matches her energy levels. She loves her walks and zoomies in the garden.
