A note from Margot's previous foster carer:

"Margot is a very sweet little girl. She needs to know about everything, being new to a home environment and also still being a baby. She is SUPER affectionate and loves people!

Margot is extremely food oriented. When she goes into a home as an only dog, this will be an easy way to train/reward her. She will chase and bring back a ball - she likes to chew them up. This is the only thing she has really chewed, though she is a real collector and has taken a number of items including dishes out of the sink! She has never damaged or broken anything. 

She has discovered the comfort of the bed and lounge but does not sleep on the bed and will get off the lounge with the verbal commands "off and down." Margot comes when called and recognises her name. She currently lives with indoor and outdoor birds and has been curious, but again responds when told no. She happily uses the doggy door. Toileting may take a couple of days in a new environment as she seems more comfortable indoors than in a big strange yard, but once she is settled and confident in her new home, there are no more accidents.

She loves toys! Margot will happily just run about the house with a toy in her mouth and just as happily lets you take it from her to throw it for her to chase.

Margot has shown zero aggression or resource/bed guarding to her foster mum. She has no sleep startle and will get up in the night to go to the toilet when/if you do. She is learning not to jump up when you arrive home - she is VERY excited when you get home, but has learned to settle quickly - she loves to please her person.

Margot is very smart, and would do well with a family who has time to continue her training and walks."
