Dixie - 4 1/2 year old female Lurcher X Bull Breed

Dixie, Lurcher X Bull breed, DOB 07.07 – Maidenhead, Surrey



Homing Requirements: Dixie needs a dog confident family who are understanding of her innate nervousness to settle with new people. As she settles and becomes confident, her beauty astounds. Dixie is focused on her toys and doesn’t easily share them, hence concerns about her around live-in young children. May relax with another dog if they are non-plus about toys. Dixie could live with older respectful children. Dixie can be left for short periods of time and is quite self contained.

Her Story: Dixie was handed over to a rescuer as 5 a month old puppy. She lived in a multi dog household with very young children. Her original owner reappeared insisting she was returned. Unbeknown to this rescuer, Dixie turned up in another rescue soon after. The rescue didn't check the chip and homed her 3 years ago with her current family: Their baby’s arrival 18 months ago changed the dynamics within the family and her owners are nervous of having their toddler around Dixie. They will try to hold on to Dixie until her home is found. Dixie is spayed, chipped and fully vax'd.

Advert: Dixie is a very lovely dog, conscious to please her owner and appeals for permission. She runs like the wind and can be trusted off lead with good recall. However she has the chase drive of a Lurcher, so need to be conscious if spotting livestock and cats before her and reconnect her on a lead. She loves puppies and smaller dogs: Has told a few larger dogs off, but then she is a bitch after all. She loves to play fetch and shows intense concentration when playing. She has trouble releasing her prize and often 2 objects need to be engaged to achieve surrender of the first. Dixie isn’t treat orientated but is definitely praise orientated. She travels in the car well. Dixie is nervous meeting people but settles. She would love to accompany her owner jogging or cycling.

Dixie is a slender bull lurcher who stands tall and elegant. She has the most beautiful yellow eyes. Her eyes feature greatly as a sight hound cross; she searches, surveys and is very visual. She has a nervous side which will need work by her owners to help her to invest her trust in new people, but once she does, she is smitten, as are they!
