Ripley
Staffordshire Bull Terrier

12 Years, 3 Months
Female
Medium
Glasgow
Ripley is a 10 year old staffy and loves humans. She can be very excited when she meets people, She likes playing with her toys but spends most of her time asleep. She's been attacked 5 times by dog that were off leash and Ripley wasn't. As a result she can be nervous of other dogs and needs to be introduced to new dogs slowly. She doesn't like being barked at. Ripley has doggy friends and we walk every morning with them.

Walking instructions
Ripley walks very well on the leash and doesn't pull. Ripley has her morning walk any time from 7:30-9.00 for about an hour Afternoon walk around 2pm for 30mins- 1 hour and evening walk from around 8pm for the same amount of time. She hates heavy rain and puddles and can be reluctant to walk in bad weather. If she has a big drink of water after her walks she may need out for a quick wee between times. She should always be walked on the leash. She has rubbish recall and is easily distracted. I only have her off leash in the garden.

Indoor care instructions

Activity level:
Low
At home with no supervision
Yes she's happy to stay home and sleep. An absolute maximum of 6 hours. It's rare that I would leave her this long. One of the reasons I'm looking for a sitter is because I have increased family commitments and I don't want to be leaving Ripley for long periods on her own.

Behaviour

Ripley is house trained. She isn't destructive with anything other than her toys. She listens to commands. She isn't allowed on the beds but sometimes sneaks in and sleeps. She may try to get on the sitter's bed. She likes her comforts. A previous sitter found her almost stuck down the back of the sofa in the attempt to knock down the cushions and make a nest.

What a wee beauty of a doggo. She's fun and loves wanting nothing more than to play, be ticked, and curl up in the sun. Good obedience and walks well. Dog friendly and loves humans. A pleasure to board.

What a beauty. A fun energetic girl who also loves a good cuddle. We loved having her over for day care and can’t wait to have her back.
