Flick.

Flick is a lovely 10-year-old Sprocker (Cocker Spaniel x Springer Spaniel), she is an easy-going and affectionate dog who enjoys her walks but is also very happy to chill on the sofa and have cuddles. In the home she is calm and settled, she is happy to be left alone for a few hours at a time once she is comfortable, and providing she has had a walk beforehand so she can relax and snooze. Flick travels well in the car, but may bark if people or dogs get too close. She may bark when strangers enter the house, but she settles once she realises that there is no threat. She does tend to keep her distance from people out and about, and while she may be a little nervous of new people initially, she warms up to them quickly. On her walks her favourite thing in the whole world is a tennis ball! Once she knows you, Flick has great recall and knows plenty of tricks, including sit, down, paw, touch, spin and walking between your legs, she even did agility for years but is enjoying her retirement now. Some days she enjoys running and exploring, while other days she will walk calmly next to you. With other animals, Flick does not like to share her things and enjoys her personal space. She can go for walks with doggy friends as long as they don’t bother her and give her plenty of space. She will react if a dog approaches her but this is managed by her current owner placing her on a lead while other dogs pass. She does resource guard certain items and can be very subtle with her body language to show she isn’t comfortable so will need owners who can read these signs. Flick is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can enjoy plenty of affection and a relaxed routine. She would like an adult only home with no other animals so that her space is respected and she can get all the attention to herself. Flick is being rehomed as part of our home to home scheme.
