Hi, I’m Florence

Sweet girl Florence has not had the best start in life ☹ Struggling with malnourishment, she is now thriving in a space where she is truly cared for. Despite her rough past, she has a very happy, outgoing & optimistic nature - always greeting you with her long wagging tail & big smile 😊

Florence will most likely be a larger sized adult, but with her Irish Wolfhound genes, she has a more laid-back nature. She is a curious young girl, wanting to know what's going on & could she be a part of it! She is learning to walk on her harness with her dog buddies & is building up her strength day by day. She would love a family of her very own so she can know what real love & safety is. She will return that love 10-fold.

The Irish Wolfhound is an impressive breed known for their loyalty, affection, patience, and devotion but early and proper socialisation is essential. In 1902, the Irish Wolfhound was declared the regimental mascot of the Irish Guards.[9]

Before bringing a puppy into your home, please consider the following:

Puppies are learning how to navigate the human world and need your guidance. Gradual and positive introductions to new experiences will help foster their confidence and resilience. It's important to reward behaviors you appreciate, as puppies will repeat actions that lead to positive reinforcement. Effective rewards include praise, treats, toys, and playtime.

Puppies have a strong instinct to chew! Make sure to provide plenty of appropriate chewing options and manage their environment so they don't gnaw on things they shouldn't. Puppy pens and crates are valuable tools for controlling their access and providing a safe space for eating, resting, and playing.

Toilet training requires patience; it won't happen overnight. Consistency and repetition are essential for raising well-mannered, happy, and healthy pups. Avoid punishing your puppy for accidents; instead, reward them for using the designated area.

Puppies are lively, inquisitive, and energetic. They love to chew and require significant time and effort to help them adapt to a human environment. It's important to teach children how to interact appropriately with puppies, reminding them that puppies are not toys. Supervision is crucial during interactions between young kids and puppies.

The more time, effort, consistency, and love you invest into your puppy, the less likely behavioral issues will develop in the future. Always research your chosen breed to ensure they align with your lifestyle.
