Description
It is with a very heavy heart that we are parting with Kiwi, our lovely 1 year old boxer. Unfortunately me and my partner have split up and neither of us can take care of her alone, along with all of the changes of moving into shared housing again, it just isn't possible.
Kiwi is a wonderful boxer pup, who has had been well trained and behaves fantastically as such. She is fully house trained of course, crate trained, knows many commands, stays close and recalls when off-lead, walks without any pulling. She doesn't bark unless playfully when playing with humans, doesn't beg, and has never been destructive. We have trained her to be independent and she can be left at home for some time alone, especially if after a long walk. She only needs about 30-45 minutes walking a day to be lazy and sleep for the rest of the day, but also loves and prefers big walks!
She is KC registered, microchipped, and has had a vet checkup every month since we've had her including flea / worm treatments & vaccinations. She has had surgery twice for cherry eye that occurred when she was much younger. She is small for a boxer, but she is very healthy and very happy and the vets have no concerns and always say how well she is doing.
Her only behaviour flaw is that she was over-socialised as a puppy and now loves other dogs and people to the point she will pull on the lead if she sees other dogs or people she knows, and has difficulty listening / responding to commands when she is excited to see them. When guests come over it can take a while for her to calm down and stop wanting to play with them, but generally redirecting her to a chew toy can help with this.
I cannot stress enough that this reactivity is rooted in excitement and love, and never presents with barking or aggression, she is just excited to meet other people. She just needs some patience and training, and a bit of growing up, to overcome this.
It is very important that our lovely Kiwi finds a home that works for her. She is used to having someone home during the week, as I work from home, so she isn't used to having everyone leave during the day. She will also need someone that is happy to meet her exercise requirements every day. If you would like to take Kiwi it would be great to hear more about you and what her new life may look like with you / your family.
Included with Kiwi would be all of her favourite toys, crate, beds, jackets, leads, walking accessories, food, treats, etc, everything she needs.
We are very very upset to be parting with Kiwi after having built such a strong bond and investing so much into her training. We would love if whoever took Kiwi was somewhat local so we could potentially visit from time to time / take her out on a walk occasionally. This is not a dealbreaker, but it would be very nice!
