Abbie
Meet Abbie, our 10 months old Malinois, full of boundless energy, intelligence and potential. This young girl is eager to find a loving and committed home where she can continue her training to thrive and develop into an exceptional companion. Abbie is everything you expect from a Malinois—athletic, quick to learn, and deeply loyal. She forms strong bonds with her main carers, and thrives under confident, calm handling. Though she’s still in her teenage phase, Abbie is keen to please and highly trainable. Her intelligence means she can read even the smallest of cues and changes in body language, so she’s always alert and ready to engage. It is very important her new owners are experienced (ideally with working breeds) and keen to continue her training with positive reinforcement methods only. One of Abbies favourite pass times is playing with toys! She enjoys playing with either soft toys or running after a tennis ball! Abbie would not be suited for an urban environment; she needs access to quieter walking areas where she can explore and stay mentally stimulated. She has not had much socialization with other dogs, so her new family will need to be patient and support her in this area, working on building positive interactions with other dogs. Abbie is not a dog for first-time dog owners. She needs a confident, experienced handler who understands her breed's characteristics and can provide her with the training, structure, and love she needs to thrive. If you have the time, patience, and experience to continue Abbie's training journey, she will become a loving, highly rewarding companion.
Due to her age, we are looking to have her rehomed as soon as possible so please do get in touch if you feel you could offer Abbie a home. If you are registered, give us a call on 01225 787331. If you are not registered, you are welcome to apply but please bear in mind that we reserve the right to rehome her to the most suitable match as quickly as possible to reduce her stay in the kennel.
