About Cleopatra

Greetings. I am Cleopatra, the beautiful and here is some info about me: Breed: Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Terrier mix Age: 3 yrs Gender: female Weight: 62 pounds Country of origin: US Highlights: Silly, affectionate, intelligent, eager to please, can be shy at first Given us Labbie type are such lovable souls and as most of us pittiepotamus are, I am an affectionate girl. I love belly rubs and hanging out on the couch with you. I came in as a stray to a shelter in Calif. I am being fostered through the shelter and can be adopted via a partner rescue with transportation available. You find me a silly girl, who is most intelligent and eager to please. I don't have a terribly high energy level. Enjoying walks and then hanging out is fine by me. Although I can be shy/unsure with new settings, I do warm up quickly with strong and consistent leadership. I am truly a sweet girl. Currently I live in an apartment and go for 3-4 walks a day. 3 walks for potty breaks where I am allowed some sniffing at my foster's discretion, but still using focused leash technique as taught by Cheri Wulff Lucas. 1 walk per day is a fast, longer walk with focused leash training (no stops for sniffs, etc... only focused walking following my foster's pace) and lead exercises. I am learning well. I prefer other large dogs of low to medium energy (with proper introductions), but I have done well on pack walks with both male and female dogs. I was even fine with the little dogs. Since I have demonstrated prey drive towards cats while on walks outdoors, probably best to forego cats in my new home, at least for now, until more is learned about my preferences. As far as small dogs, probably best in a home with dogs similar in size to myself, unless you are dog savvy to ensure proper interactions with a little one. Since it is unknown about my experience with kids, so teenaged is probably best. Being that I can be shy/unsure with new settings, though I warm up quickly with strong and consistent leadership. I just need someone who is patient and calm and help me feel secure. One thing I love is a kong toy with PEANUT BUTTER inside, yum. I also do the cutest happy dance/trot anytime you walk into the room I'm in! I'm just a happy go lucky young lady. My likes are walks, hikes and playing with rope toys and balls for short periods of time. The neighborhood where I am being fostered has a lot of dogs, so I am getting plenty of practice around other dogs. I have completed five training sessions now and know sit, down, wait, place and more! All i need now... is you. I am ready to start my new adventure in life. Energy Level: Relatively low energy for a 3 year old dog. I get along with: Dogs: yes. large, lower energy ones, with slow intro. Cats: no. Kids: unknown Fears: Can be unsure/afraid of other dogs while walking outdoors. Please be patient during my transition. Training: Leash skills: yes. Walks very well using figure 8 leash (Cheri Wulff Lucas method.) Please be ready to continue training. House trained: Yes. Fully. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health notes: No medical issues. Being fed a salmon based diet since us pitties mixes can sometimes have skin issues. I am spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to the border.
