Looking for a Loyal, Fun, Cuddly, Companion?
Meet two year old, EMMA, born 10/2022. Emma is the daughter of a pointer mix, and a traveling salesman (likely with a good dose of lab in him). Mom and pups came to Virginia right after birth, and lived in a foster home until weaned at 8 weeks. Never lived on the streets; she came right to family's home. Sadly, for health reasons, Emma's family must move to a senior apartment. Thus, we are looking for the absolutely best new setting to re-home loving and sweet natured 40 lb Emma.

Want a well trained dog, eager to please? Emma has successfully breezed through courses in basic and advanced obedience, two levels of nose work, basic agility, and AKC fit dog. She can be timid in new situations, and if she sees another dog, or, infrequently, a person, she will step back and bark. We have, since Emma was a pup, worked with trainer, Jennifer Pennington (Lead with Fun), and her fear-free techniques to help re-focus Emma at such times DO work. Emma, when excited to see a dear friend, has springs in her feet: so best for her not to be with small children, lest her enthusiasm might topple them.

Emma grew up with another dog in our home, she has play dates with a Samoyed, so she will play well with another dog IF the introduction is gradual and slowly eased into. Boisterous dogs scare her.

We love our Emma, and will do all we can to help ease the transition to her new home.

Wild turtle training session 1. This little guy moved into my fish pond. So, let's train him. He has seen me feed the fish for the last two months. This session introduces him to both the clicker and a feeding stick.

Truth. Veterinarians have an exceptionally tough job. Patients who won’t hold still, can’t talk, and may be scared.
