Maggie
Maggie is a 8 month old Springer Spaniel cross, who came to The Mayhew because her previous owners relationship broke down and neither were able to keep her. A friendly girl, she loves to play with people she knows and other dogs.
Although timid of strangers and easily spooked, once she has been coaxed out of her shell becomes very affectionate. Still very puppy-like in her behaviour she will need to learn basic commands, toilet training and be taught manners. She hasn’t been tested with young children but would happily live with teenagers.
Maggie is an extremely affectionate dog who loves to be close to you and adores being stroked, massaged all over and sharing cuddles. She is a very active and bouncy girl who will need approximately two hours of off-lead exercise every day. She doesn’t like to be left alone, if left on her own she will bark and become destructive, her new guardians will need to address this problem and help her over come her separation anxiety.
Maggie’s great loves in life are going for long walks, learning new things and playing. She loves to dig in the garden and enjoys shredding plants. This extremely affectionate girl bonds easily and will adore her new family.
Given plenty of stimulation, this bright, playful and loving dog will make a wonderful companion for someone who has owned dogs before, ideally Spaniels, someone who is willing take her to training classes and can provide her with an endless supply of toys. Her new guardians will be taking on a fifteen year commitment, which must not be taken lightly.
Maggie will certainly make a unique and wonderful friend!
