Cricket

Cricket is an 18-month-old bundle of loving energy. If you are looking for a fun dog to play any sport with, she is your girl! She is both food and toy motivated, wants to please and does not ever run out of energy. Her legs are spring loaded and will leap to any height to catch a frisbee or a ball. She absolutely loves water and is fearless on boats and floats. The sky is the limit for her sports potential, she could be a fantastic dock diving dog, she could play frisbee, flyball, agility or obedience with the right training. She has a lot of stamina and can hike with you for hours or go for a run on any given day. She can settle down after a good play session and is snoozing under my desk as I write this bio. She is good in a crate and voluntarily goes into a crate for a nap at times. Cricket first came to CBCR as a little black and white puppy, but turned out not to be a Border Collie. The largest breed percentage in her DNA is German Shepherd (hence the ears!), followed by some other shepherd breeds, Staffordshire terrier and Pitbull terrier. Cricket was adopted out to a great family but unfortunately animosities developed between her and the other dog in the household, another female, that could not be remedied and resulted in fights between the two dogs. Cricket was returned to CBCR and therefore now has to find a family without other pets. She could potentially be matched to a larger, good natured male dog who is not easily offended by Cricket who has little sense for other dog’s personal space or boundaries. She gets along fine with the male dogs in her foster home. Cricket has met a myriad of dogs on walks and never displayed any aggression in that setting. She will need a fenced-in yard (no electric fencing) where she can chase her ball safely. Cricket loves human beings of any age. She is great with children however she is exuberant and would knock over a toddler in an instant, she would probably be better with slightly older kids who enjoy a playmate. She will chase a ball all day long for you! Cricket is located in Holly Springs, NC.
