Charlotte comes with a ton of foundations.
She does have some fomo when the other dogs get to do something but she does not but otherwise she's very settled in her crate.
She likes the company of other dogs, but can get overwhelmed with rude, pushy, frenetic, or in your face dogs. She's perfectly neutral in public and has done well with my dogs after a couple week adjustment period. Mostly she wants laid-back dogs to run and play with but then exist with peaceably.
Charlotte has been phenomenal with the girls (10 & 11). But like with other dogs, she needs structure and boundaries and strong predictability, especially with preschool age children or younger. She was very nervous of Whitman at first and in general is cautious of men, but she does warm up very quickly. She shows some insecurity that people may take her toys when she has them (no growling or anything), just some mild but present worry when she has a toy that it might be taken from her.
While different breeds, Charlotte has the same need for respect as the Azawakh from all members of the household. Like a lot of primitive breeds, she can take awhile to deeply bond with new humans and can be a bit wary of pressure in novel situations or from novel people, so I recommend a drag line at first so as to eliminate the need to a lot of spatial pressure as she's getting to know you. She is avoidant if pressure rather than confrontational of it.
She might be interested in occasional dabbling, weekend warrior sports, but struggles some under pressure so won't make a high level competition dog likely. We are starting her in AOK9 racing where she's shown a lot of interest actually. Scent work could be really good for continuing to build some confidence/decreasing clinginess. But all in all, she really wants a couch to curl up with her people and someone to play fetch with her.
She comes with UKC blood lines registration and could be registered through AKC's Companion Dog program since she is spayed.
For questions and interest reach out to us and I'll connect you to Kira who is the one who imported her from Viet Nam and have her all her foundations.
