Little Dolly hasn't been blessed with bags of confidence but you can see little glimmers of a more outgoing girl trying to get out. She greets you with a waggy tail at the kennel door and enjoys her walks - she walks beautifully alongside you - you won't even know she's there.

Dolly will need a patient owner who would be willing to help Dolly gain confidence - someone who can see the small improvements while waiting for the big ones. But with these shy dogs, its so rewarding once they learn to trust you, it'll break your heart. Dolly seems to gain confidence from being with another dog, so perhaps she would like a quiet, adult household with another dog for company.

Dolly's trainer says that she "loves her grub" so maybe the way to Dolly's heart is through her stomach. If you think you have what it takes to help Dolly enjoy life now that her racing days are over, please give us ring.
