Hazel

Hazel is a 2 years old, vaccinated, chipped, neutered scruffy lurcher.

Grey/ silver in colour, 16kg in weight, soft, scruffy coat, a petite lurcher. Very good at vets, going to restaurants, beach walks, hikes, etc. She is fully house trained.

She can be a little reactive when on a lead towards other dogs but it’s now easy to get the focus back and as long as she focuses on the handler, she is perfect, this will improve with further training.

She is excellent on the lead, no pulling, just walks alongside you on the left. She has good basic obedience. Recall off lead needs more work but she won’t run away all the same.

She sleeps happily in a crate all night, no barking or whining. She is great to travel in car/ jeep. She is used to being on her own for a few hours without any hassle – not destructive, no barking. Will happily chill after her walk, enjoys cuddles.

She is not cat tested. She is too jumpy for young children.

She can get a little excited in high adrenaline situations, we have worked on this and she can come back to chill mode now easily. When we got her first, excitement would cause her to nip our clothes. Now, you can calm her withing seconds with a chest rub and a calm voice.

She gets on with many dogs, however, they are all larger, confident dogs.

Not a first time owner dog, as training is in progress still. To apply for Hazel, please fill in our adoption form – Adoption Questionnaire – West Cork Animals
