NO CATS FOR KOZY

Kozy is a beautiful girl with a bubbly personality looking to learn, grow and create bonds with a new family. Kozy is house-trained and is always excited to see new things and meet new people. Kozy is extremely friendly, although sometimes her excitement can be a bit much, and she is a great people dog always looking to be around you. However, if you are looking for a layback dog Kozy is not for you.

Kozy also developed a strong bond in the past with her foster dog sibling and they loved to spend time together. Both big dogs, they played quite rough with each other, lots of mouthing, tug of war and so on, but with maturity and less energy Kozy should learn to play more calmly. Kozy will also benefit from some extra social training as she tends to be a little spatially challenged. She does chase the ball and bring it back but we do not encourage too much of this activity, as it is definitely not good for her legs.

Kozy is an incredibly smart dog, she knows the commands sit and drop (down) and is extremely fast at learning new skills, as long as it’s accompanied by some treats. She can communicate without barking, such as using her head to get your arm around her when she is looking for a cuddle, or when you’re needing one.

She is a little too smart and, although she will adore you, she would love someone to give her a job to do of whatever sort (you may know it’s not a real job but she won’t) as she loves to feel useful. Ideally you are a home that has had previous rottweiler or herding dog experience who understand this need.

Perhaps you are a family who want to do obedience/dog activity/tricks, rather than just hikes and works.  If Kozy has activities and interactions that will work her brain she will be satisfied and it will use up her energy.  Be warned if she is bored she can also be a bench surfer and get into things she shouldn’t.

Note if you have a pristine yard Kozy may not be for you as she does not deign to toilet on her walk but likes to be in familiar territory when she toilets, as in the back yard.

She will be a good watch dog and will alert you to things on the property line as is her breed instinct, but good training and household management will manage this easily.

Kozy is such a great dog.  Is she the one for you?

We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
