Fern

Fern is a sweetheart full of love and a mind eager to learn. If you’re familiar with the Shepherd breed, you’ll quickly realize Fern is a special gem waiting to shine in the right home. She is highly intelligent and picks up on new things very fast! She loves training and learning new tricks, she is super food motivation, so this combination makes training her super easy.

Fern loves to run and play and would do best in an active home. She loves to go on adventures and would be the best hiking buddy! She enjoys off leash time and has an excellent recall, she naturally wants to stay near her human. While she does have energy that needs burning, so long as she gets her exercise, she is excellent in the house and has a great “off switch”! She does love chewing on appropriate chew toys, and so her new home should ensure she has these available to her as a positive outlet. Benebones and Himalayan chews are her favourite!

Fern is very people-friendly, she loves humans like nothing else! She is still working on her manners and not to jump on people who come to the home, because of this she’s better suited for a home with older children who can actively participate in her training. She is a big puppy after all! She can be “pushy” and would be best with someone who has experience with large energetic dogs. She seeks out cuddles and pets and would love to curl up with you for a belly rub! She truly is a sweetheart who has so much love to give.

Fern gets along well with other confident, energetic, playful dogs. She requires slow introductions as sometimes she plays a bit too rough for some dogs and is a more dominant gal. She co-exists super well once properly introduced and really enjoys having friends.

Fern would thrive living in a country home environment but would also be a candidate to live in a home with a fenced yard in the city or suburbs. Because of her off leash skills, Fern can go to a home without a fenced yard if in the country but if in the city or suburbs, she requires a fenced yard as she really enjoys spending time outdoors running around and exploring freely.

Fern is house-trained and crate-trained, showcasing her adaptability and intelligence. She should be crated when not supervised due to her desire to chew! She is currently working on her leash walking skills but getting better every day.

If you’re an active individual or family looking for a loyal and trainable companion, Fern might just be the perfect match for you. Apply to adopt Fern, and let her infectious enthusiasm and loving spirit bring a new level of joy to your life!
