Meet Gertie

Gertie is a Staffy x Kelpie. Which is not as high maintenance as it might sound. She does need lots of walking, and enjoys sniffing around in the garden. For some bizarre non-doglike reason, she's not all that into chasing balls - but we're working on it! Mainly, though, she is just the biggest softie you'll ever meet. She loves a cuddle and a scratch and would spend all day curled up in her carers lap given half a chance. A softer natured girl she'll do best in a home where she will be included as part of the family and involved with everyday family activities. She is great indoors, very chilled out and seems happy to hang around and sleep alot but when you're up for an outing and a walk she's ready and excited to go. She is still learning manners on lead but she is responding very well to training so far.
