Meet Freya - She Needs a Good Home
This is Freya. She's a rescue dog we are fostering. Her "mom" is in the Air Force and despite being told she'd stay State-side, Uncle Sam shipped her over-seas.
Freya is tiny. Almost itty bitty. She weighs in at 40 pounds and is easily the smallest GSP we have in the house. I get a lot of folks looking for small GSP's. To be honest, the only way to be sure is to get an adult.
Freya is remarkably bright and very much in tune with people and other dogs. She's a little needy and likely suffers from a bit of separation anxiety. She follows me around the house and will stick very close. She somehow managed to curl up in a cat bed last night as it was the closest soft spot next to me as I worked on the computer. She's almost too smart and a bit of a worrier. It's not a problem, and I think she'll worry less as she gets a more stable home life.
Freya has been very easy to train. She was a terrible puller on the leash, but I was able to explain what "heel" means in just a few minutes. I've walked her with my pinkie finger. We are crate training Freya, and she appreciates having her own "spot." She will disappear into her crate.
She has prey drive. She located the mouse nest in the wood pile with her nose and kind of stuttered to a stop. Unfortunately she is reportedly afraid of fireworks and thunder, so no hunting for Freya. Of course just looking around is still fun. She's really put together well and has great muscle tone and nice angulation. Her movement is very easy. She's been kept lean on a high-quality diet (and I have the paperwork to prove it). If I had to venture a guess, I'd suspect she will NOT have much joint pain as she ages. Freya has a clear 4DX test which means she doesn't have Heart Worm or any tick-borne diseases.
Freya loves riding in the car. She curls up quietly on the back seat when we are moving, but gets up and looks around when we start turning and stopping. Freya is probably the quietest GSP I have ever known. She rarely barks, seldom whines. Freya is very respectful when taking treats from your hand. She occasionally throws a fit in her crate, but she's just trying to train us to let her out (it doesn't work here). Most of the time, crate time is quiet time and she has figured that out pretty fast. Freya is going to stick to her new owner like glue. She's very well behaved but she wants someone to set limits and boundaries for her. Giving her a job like obedience or rally would be really fun for you and her. Freya is good with kids and reportedly good around cats.
Freya will make an awesome pet for someone. We'd keep her ourselves except there is a limit to the number of dogs we wish to keep and I think we are already past it. If you are interested in adopting Freya or any other GSP, you need to get approved by GSP Rescue (Click Here).
