Emmie is an incredibly special girl! Some type of large hound mix, Emmie has got the active mind of working dog but the sweet, loving nature of a yellow lab type. When she greets new and old human friends she gently places her feet on your chest and gives a “love gaze” that just makes your heart melt.
Emmie is super playful.. you’ll often find her bouncing around the yard throwing a toy up to herself and pouncing on it! She has learned from her past to entertain herself, it seems!
 We do believe Emmie was somewhere where she didn’t get a whole lot of consistent connection.. maybe she was an outdoor kennel dog? She can easily shift her focus from one thing to the next so we are working with her on processing what she is seeing by bringing her eye contact back to us.. Which has been remarkably easy!! Emmie wants partnership, she wants companionship.. so once we began showing how we can achieve this in different real life scenarios, she offers it up more and more!
Em is extremely calm on the leash.. hardly ever pulling and often naturally checking back in with you for eye contact and reassurance. Sometimes she can get a bit cautious walking around the barn with objects like the wheelbarrow or a paper bag.. she'll take a short pause to assess the scene then slowly approach to check it out.  She’s gaining confidence every single day!

Upon her arrival we noticed the arrival of other dogs into her space caused concern for Emmie,,  but we are totally reshaping that. She’s used to seeing them from the inside of a kennel.. now we’re walking with other dogs, playing with them too! And she’s starting to let loose that sweet side of her and really play! She could go to a home with another dog that matches her play style. No cats though!

We just adore this gentle, affectionate hound doggie! Watching her true personality come out has been incredibly rewarding and it shows just how fabulous she is!! If you love hound dogs, no doubt you’ll ADORE EMMIE!!
