Listing Description

We are looking to find a loving home for our adorable 8-week-old puppy, Dixie, whom we recently bought from a breeder. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to provide her with the time and attention she deserves.\r\nAs first-time dog owners, we did not anticipate the level of attention and training a puppy requires. After purchasing her, we found ourselves overwhelmed with our responsibilities. We recently moved to a new state, acquired more land, bought a business, and are working on it all the time. On top of this, we are also raising two young boys and just found out we’re expecting our third child. Managing all these commitments, along with Dixie, has become too much for us. Our heart breaks as we love Dixie with all her quirks. Flattens out like a pancake when sleeping, greets you booty first and wiggling, tilts her head to watch you, etc.. but we know this is for the better. And better now while she is still so young.\r\n\r\nWe got Dixie when she was only five weeks old. (We did not know this is not the norm.) Her mother had an infection and could no longer breastfeed, so the puppies were already eating solid food when we bought her. She has recently been vaccinated (first set) and dewormed. \r\n\r\nShe is very intelligent and already knows how to sit and is almost completely potty trained. She rarely has accidents and has never pooped in the house. We use pee pads during the night and take her out a few times a day (she will let you know.) Dixie is a sweet and playful puppy, loves being around people. However, another reason we are looking to re home her is because it seems my 4 year old just does not get along with her. She’s sweet, but my 4 year old will provoke her until she becomes agitated. I know this will affect her future wise if she does not receive a stable environment .\r\n\r\nDixie comes from a first litter. Both her mother and father are registered. Her mother is a very intelligent, obedient and playful dog with excellent watchdog capabilities and many great qualities. Her father has a championship bloodline. Dixie gets along well with our kittens and cats , but she is a herd dog and enjoys jumping and playing. We also have baby chicks, and she is pretty controlled around them.\r\n\r\nWe want to ensure Dixie goes to a good home where she will be loved and cared for. We will provide her crate, bed, food and water bowls, all her supplies (brush, leash, wipes, etc..,) and all her vaccination and health records. She has never been crate trained because she has done so well just being in the house and being potty trained. She loves being around people, but as she is still very young, there is so much potential for further training. She is a wonderful puppy with a lot of potential, and we believe she will thrive in a home that can give her the time and attention she needs.\r\n\r\nIf you or someone you know is looking for a loyal and loving companion, please reach out to us. We are looking for someone who can provide her with a happy and stable environment. Thank you for considering giving Dixie a loving home.
