Likes: Playing with her friend Casi and chasing chickens Pet-Peeves: Wilson the great dane, and other strange dogs Favorite Toy: squeaky rat Favorite Food: anything Favorite Walk: no walking, she goes out for a drag!!! Best Tricks: sit, down, running fast, and threading the needle as she goes........ Arrival Story: Lola came to me in September of 2007 when her original owners were forced to give her up. She was originally imported with her brother from Tibilsi,Georgia and was sent to the USA as a young puppy. She spent her first year with a nice family,but the town zoning laws only allowed 3 dogs and there were too many at her house (besides her brother there was a german shepherd and some Yorkies). The town made the family give up some of the dogs so Lola came into custody of Ovcharka Rescue and is being fostered here. Bio: Lola is 30 inches tall and weighs 115 lbs. She is spayed and seems to be very robust and healthy. Her previous owners loved her very much but they forgot to teach her any manners so she is sort of a "bull in the china shop" kind of dog. She has yet to meet a person she does not like (very uncaucasian ovcharka like behavior) but I think that some of it is due to her age (its hard to remember she is just a puppy, when she is racing at you with her 115 lb body rocketing toward you at 100 miles an hour).
Lola likes many dogs and gets along fabulously with Luther, Douro and Casi. In fact she and Casi are like two peas in a pod and play , and play, and then play some more. Casi only weighs about 22 lbs right now so watching them play is fascinating.
Lola has her likes and dislikes. If she is afraid of a another dog, or feels threatened she can be very aggressive. Sadly she has taken a sharp dislike to my tenants 8 year old great dane and they got into a big fight over the top of a 4 foot fence.......
She also chases my chickens, but that is more ecstatic play behavior than truly predatory. She loves to drag you on the leash and if I can find my gentle leader I would like to put and end to that. Even though she is very strong and very exhuberant, she does have a desire to please and she does listen.
She is crate trained and appears to be house trained since her stay began here.
Lola's biggest fault is that she does not know when to shut up. She loves to alarm bark and her bark is very very deep and loud. In her previous home she did wear a no-bark collar. If she is adopted into a suburban or city neighborhood the new owner should probably assume they are going to need a no-bark collar.
I have six foot stockade fence almost all the way around my yard and she seems to respect it. She can bound over a four foot fence like its not there. I do also think she could scale 6 foot chain link quite easily. She has a covered chain link kennel in my yard that she has not gotten out of yet.
Lola would probably do best in a home with adults and older children, and possibly one other male dog. (she has been known to bowl over toddlers in her exhuberance) The adoptive family should have lots of dog experience and be willing to take Lola to obedience classes. Lola is probably not a dog that would do well at a dog park either. Familiarity with livestock guard dogs is a Plus. Forums Motto: Lola, L-o-l-a, Lola ................
