Vaiana – für das Tierheim Bamberg

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 11 months

This dog is not at the animal shelter Franken. We provide placement assistance exclusively for the animal shelter Bamberg. Contact: Mrs. Plunkett (animal shelter Bamberg) Vaiana is a loving, lively, and confident Australian Shepherd female dog, who is still in the middle of her teenage phase at eleven months – a time when she requires a lot of challenge and clear leadership. As a typical Aussie, Vaiana is extremely intelligent and hardworking, wanting to be mentally and physically challenged. She does not need affection out of pity, but rather consistent and clear rules to feel safe and well-guided. Vaiana is looking for a family that understands her energy and her drive for work and can provide her with structure. One special feature is that Vaiana is DEAF. Although this limitation shapes her communication differently, it is not a hindrance. Vaiana has only recently begun to react to visual signals and hand signals, and she is still learning to orient herself without acoustic stimuli. She shows a great deal of attentiveness and learnability, but it will still require time and patience to fully establish this form of communication. Her future owners should be prepared to delve into this topic and provide her with the necessary security and patience. In certain situations, Vaiana is not afraid to use her teeth towards people, especially when she believes a situation should be handled differently. Therefore, Vaiana must wear a muzzle to prevent her from succeeding with this behavior and to learn to establish other behavioral patterns. Vaiana is looking for an active, dog-experienced family or individual who is willing to work with a deaf dog and appreciate the challenge and joy of training and leading her. She is not a dog for beginners but for people who are willing to deal with her special character and offer her a clear and understandable structure. An ideal home would have plenty of freedom to move around, consistent training, and a confident second dog.

Dieser Hund ist nicht bei der Tierhilfe Franken. Wir leisten ausschließlich Vermittlungshilfe für das Tierheim Bamberg. Kontakt: Frau Plunkett (Tierheim Bamberg) Vaiana ist eine liebevolle, aufgeweckte und selbstbewusste Australian Shepherd Hündin, die mit ihren 11 Monaten noch mitten in der pubertären Phase steckt – eine Zeit, in der sie besonders viel Herausforderung und klare Führung benötigt. Als typischer Aussie ist Vaiana äußerst intelligent und arbeitsfreudig, weshalb sie geistig und körperlich gefordert werden will. Hierbei braucht sie keine Zuwendung aus Mitleid, sondern konsequente und klare Regeln, um sich sicher und gut geführt zu fühlen. Vaiana sucht eine Familie, die ihre Energie und ihren Drang nach Arbeit versteht und ihr Struktur bietet. Ein besonderes Merkmal ist, dass Vaiana TAUB ist. Obwohl diese Einschränkung ihre Kommunikation etwas anders gestaltet, ist sie keineswegs ein Hindernis. Vaiana hat erst vor kurzem begonnen, auf visuelle Signale und Handzeichen zu reagieren, und lernt noch, sich ohne akustische Reize zu orientieren. Sie zeigt sich sehr aufmerksam und lernfähig, aber es wird noch Zeit und Geduld erfordern, um diese Art der Kommunikation vollständig zu etablieren. Ihre zukünftigen Besitzer sollten bereit sein, sich intensiv mit dieser Thematik auseinanderzusetzen und ihr die nötige Sicherheit und Geduld zu bieten. In bestimmten Situationen scheut sich Vaiana nicht davor, ihre Zähne gegenüber dem Menschen einzusetzen, v.a. dann, wenn sie gerade der Meinung, ist eine Situation sollte anders gelöst werden. Deshalb muss Vaiana einen Maulkorb tragen, damit sie mit diesem Verhalten nicht zum Erfolg kommt und lernen kann andere Verhaltensmuster zu etablieren. Vaiana sucht eine aktive, hundeerfahrene Familie oder Einzelperson, die bereit ist, mit einem tauben Hund zu arbeiten und die Herausforderung und Freude zu schätzen, sie zu erziehen und zu führen. Sie ist kein Hund für Anfänger, sondern für Menschen, die bereit sind, sich mit ihrem besonderen Charakter auseinanderzusetzen und ihr eine klare und verständliche Struktur zu bieten. Ideal wäre ein Zuhause mit viel Bewegungsfreiheit, einer konsequenten Erziehung und einem souveränen Zweithund.
