ONYX COLLAR GIRL HAS A HOME!

UPDATE:  ONYX HAS A WONDERFUL HOME.  THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SENT IN INQUIRIES!!

From the moment she was whelped, I had hopes to keep her for a breeding girl to place in a guardian home but she has a slight under bite which nixed her from my program.  Upon the vet exam for her Health Certificate, it was not even noted because it is so insignificant; but I take pride in my breeding stock and even small deficits bump you off for consideration.

According to my trainer's Temperament Assessment done at 7  1/2 weeks of age, here is the best criteria for Onyx Girl to bloom (a full copy of her assessment will be provided for guidance):

• a stable dog to give Onyx a confidence boost would be a huge benefit
• Preferably works from home or can bring to their business.  Onyx needs time to greet unfamiliar people or new environments, so gentle exposure and patience for both. 
• use a professional trainer that can teach you how to redirect her when she appears stressed
• provide lots of encouragement and play time - Onyx loves to play fetch and tug
• A home that is not excessively noisy or loud and has enough sense to give her a quieter place to be during these times until she shows comfort in that setting.

On the positive side: 

• Onyx is friendly and likes to be with familiar people.  Unfamiliar people need to give her a bit of time to assess them.  She is not the type of dog that will knock people over with excited abandon.  
• She loves food so will be easy to train with positive rewards.  
• She is loyal and will stay close to you for human contact and will be an easy dog to train off leash when safe to do so.  She is very agreeable and willing to learn.
• Onyx has a silky, wavy coat that will be easy to maintain and a joy for any groomer as well as non shedding.
• She adores belly rubs.  :+)
