Adopt Bridget

English Bulldog · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Little Bridget is something of a wild child! Still a pup, she's looking for a family that ideally have an interest in dog training, as she's a cross Catahoula Leopard Dog, a very smart and switched on breed with a strong drive to work. She has recently been returned to our care and is a little unsure about her current circumstances. At times Bridget is very confident and at others very hesitant and wary. She's an affectionate dog who enjoys contact but is easily excited and often resorts to grabbing clothing and hands. Her new family will need to guide her away from these types of behaviours rather than punish her. Bridget loves to play and there are certain games that would be great outlet for her puppy drives and help her control her impulses. She lacks a lot of confidence around other dogs although she tries to play with some, she runs away when they reciprocate. We have no doubts that Bridget will be a wonderful dog at the heart of the right family and our training team are happy to discuss any of her needs with potential adopters. Home requirements: Bridget needs a home where she can be the only pet whilst she focuses on her training, and any children are teenagers. Her family will need to be committed to putting in some work with her and full support will be given from the team at the centre, and we would advise researching the Catahoula Leopard Dog before applying to adopt. Three of Bridget's litter mates have heart issues but she does not, but she may need monitoring in the future. Available at Merseyside (Liverpool), Liverpool
