brightstar123 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for the cool name suggestions, Mrs Rusty Bucket, I actually quite like Milla too. Reagan's cute too, she does remind me of a little rain cloud :) She's much more active than our last Keeshond, I think she'd love to have a go at agility or something else that's high energy. Her recall isn't disastrous at all but she gets so overexcited by people and any attention and goes into a frenzy of licking. She licks my jeans and shoes :laugh: I'm just rewarding calm behaviour but really I think it will just be time and exposure to more people and situations that makes the difference. She is doing so well really though, I'm very happy with her behaviour overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Everyone who knows a keeshond would enjoy this agility brace - the keeshond are just before 8 minutes in. PS there's a lady in SA doing really well at Obedience with Keeshond. Edited March 24, 2015 by Mrs Rusty Bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brightstar123 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks guys :) It's nice to have some support as not everyday is easy with a rescue dog (or any dog, as everyone knows!) The pouring rain is really fun with a fluff ball that needs exercising, medicating, grooming... Lol. That's two votes for Milla, that could be it!

brightstar123 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Is it pronounced Milla or Meella? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi Brightstar I'm not entirely sure. I was thinking me (like me too) and la - like singing lalalala me-la but it would be really hard to make mi la sound different unless you rhymed "la" with cat it could be meh lah too. Hmm maybe I should look up my german text. Trying to think of another german word with mi ... berlin - pretty much burr - leen. but with a shorter ee sound. Found a youtube german reading the alphabet. It's ee or at least capital I is ee as in free... I was thinking similar to "miller" but "meelah"... more girly. Does that help? I don't think it matters as long as you can yell it and not get any humans responding. Way too many dogs called Sally and Molly if you ask me.

brightstar123 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 In those pics you can see the extra black wispy bits of hair coming off the sides/back of the ears which made me think she was definitely a cross, also the darker shading on the paws. The ruff under the chin and on the chest seems very dark for a Keeshond too, but it's hard to tell if lighter hair could grow back there now. She seems pretty flashy in her gait for a Keeshond too, but I'm no expert. Either way she's pretty cute. Lots of spark and fizz and keen for a job to do :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 She's lovely brightstar. She smiling & looks so happy with life now,along with a spring in her step to boot. Really wonderful turn around. Big thanks to you. I'm not familar with this breed so I'm unsure if she isn't a full Keeshound. She is so pretty though. Her coat is flourishing as well ????

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 She's a beauty, I love Keeshonds, I'm sure her coat will change as her condition improves. Good rescue, I can't believe how much she suffered and hope whoever was responsible has been reported and dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightstar123 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yes I have reported the previous owners, particularly as there were other dogs on the property and I didn't even see the state of those poor creatures. Excuses were made but at the end of the day, this dog would have been better off being surrendered a long time ago I have some feedback from a breeder that she is likely to be purebred. In my experience it's not really a breed that the backyard breeders have got hold of yet? The only Keeshonds I have met have been from registered breeders and even then I've only seen a few in Sydney. There are quite a few breeders listed on DOL that are located to the north-west of Sydney, which is where this girl came from, so it's possible. The owners argued at length that she was purebred and that they paid $1400 for her... who knows what the truth is though. Anyway, I'm really not sure about that crazy ear hair though :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Pedigree or not??? I don't know. There is NO question she was terribly abused & neglected She looks so happy in that last pic brightstar. Big smiley face. Truth is probably the happiest she has ever been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stressmagnet Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Why would you pay $1400 for a dog just to abuse and neglect it? I don't understand how some people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Why would you pay $1400 for a dog just to abuse and neglect it? I don't understand how some people think. People do not think. The End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
