Double cuties, Millie and Poppy, are 8 year old female Bichon Frise girls who are currently enjoying life in Gosport, Hampshire. Millie and Poppy have been left for 2.5 hours but will whine, bark or howl when left and on return. They would not be happy in a home with full-time workers as they are used to someone being around most of the time.
They are currently living with a resident dog, but Poppy is quite dominant and has demonstrated this occasionally to the resident dog, so it would be best to go as a bonded pair with no other dogs. They show no interest in cats they have met out on walks. Millie and Poppy seem fine when approached by older children (aged 8+) and are happy to be fussed by them.
They are walked on a lead currently. Their recall is not great but it could be worked on with a few persuasive treats. Millie and Poppy are currently having short walks with garden time, but have had 45 minute walks around the park. They have plenty of energy, so perhaps two 30-minute walks would suit them better.
Yes, they are! Millie and Poppy love the car and jump in eagerly. They are noisy getting in the car but settle immediately the car moves. The noise starts as soon as the car stops though!
Millie: lots of snuggles and fuss, licking the shower screen and floor post-shower. Poppy: sitting on the back of the sofa, getting fusses, snoozing. Millie and Poppy don’t seem to have any so far!
It would be a home where someone is around most of the time. This is what they were used to in their previous home. They do have some separation anxiety but are not destructive, although may occasionally have a small ‘accident’.
Millie and Poppy are vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea-treated. They have been vet-checked and have no health problems apart from dental tartar. They have a dental hygienist appointment booked.
