Cherokee is a 16 month old, purebred, spayed, Vizsla. She was purchased from a pet store when she was a pup. She was surrendered by her owner because “the kids were afraid of her”. Another example of buying a puppy because it is cute and the people feel sorry for it with no knowledge of the breed characteristics. Yes, she was a wild child, she had no boundaries or had not been taught the basic home rules. Cherokee was adopted by a loving family that was willing to help her learn her place in the home environment.

Here is her new mom’s update: Just want to give you an update on Cherokee's progress. She's been doing really well here and has adjusted much better to her new home. Cherokee & Aspen are on a regular schedule now where they go to doggy day care a couple of days a week (2-3) and then stay home 2 days a week while we're at work. Cherokee and Aspen are getting along really well and the more we socialize her with other dogs and other people the more relaxed she is. I went on a hike with a girlfriend of mine and her dog, and Cherokee was incredibly comfortable and had a blast on the trails with Aspen and her new buddy along w/my friend. So all and all, everything is going well. She's using the doggy door to go outside and she's staying within the invisible fence lines. We slowly train her on the boundaries and she's responding well....she's not cowering anymore and doesn't respond negatively if she does here her collar beep.

Just wanted to give you a positive report and tell you that we're thrilled to have her and I believe she's happy to be here too. Take care, Carolyn
