8 month old Sheprador + XL Crate

Description

We are unfortunately in the heartbreaking position that we cannot keep skye any longer.
Due to personal circumstances, we are unable to meet her exercise and training needs. This has been a very difficult decision, but we believe she will thrive in a home that can give her the structure and lifestyle she needs.

Skye - 8 Month Old Sheprador (German Shepherd x Labrador) - Needs Experienced, Active Home

About Skye:
Breed: German Shepherd x Labrador
Age: 8 months
Sex: Female (not yet spayed)
Microchipped & vaccinated
Health: Excellent, no known issues
Training: Knows Sit, Stay, Lie Down, Paw/Other Paw, Leave It, Drop, Here (recall), Look at Me, Up, Jump, Side, Touch, Middle, Mat, Stop & Go.
Can get very over excited on walks, pulling frequently and so needs an experienced dog owner to reel her in.

House training: Mostly clean indoors, with only the rare accident.
Personality & Needs:
Very intelligent, high-energy, and thrives with mental as well as physical stimulation.
Enjoys ball games, food puzzles, snuffle mats, and scent work.
Bonds strongly to her people and struggles with being left alone -- will need ongoing separation training.
Can be anxious in busy environments or when walking with the whole family, but is more confident with one handler.
Still young and excitable -- will jump up and mouth when overexcited.
Home Needed:
Experienced owner who understands working breeds and can give consistent training.
Plenty of daily exercise (secure field or long walks) and mental enrichment.
Someone home most of the day or able to build up time left gradually.
Secure, dog-proof garden.
She is good with children, but can occasionaly be overly friendly and excitable.

She has lived with cats but will chase -- needs supervision and ongoing training if homed with them.
Why We're Rehoming:
Skye is a wonderful dog, but her very high exercise and training needs don't suit our current home situation. We have put a lot of work into her, but she will be happiest in a home that can give her more structure and time than we can. She has previously worked very well with a trainer at Canine Ability dog training, and loves going to Wild River dog park in ballynahinch. She is very social able and well behaved with other dogs.

I love this dog dearly, but we cannot keep up with her needs due to our situation. I wish we could keep her, but we have tried everything we can to make things work.
We will ask questions to ensure she is going to a good and loving home.
