Get to know Daisy

The way she ‘talks’ to us when she wants our attention or is excited. She throws her head back and woofs! She brings us toys to play with her and loves a game of fetch and chase. When she’s tired, she loves to cuddle up next to you. She’s a gorgeous loving little girl.

Daisy gets spooked very easily and we are trying to raise her confidence when out on a walk. She’s very nervous of other people, dogs and loud noises. We took her to the Dogs Trust puppy classes and she was really nervous and hid under the chair or barked most of the time.

Shorkies are very intelligent breeds and easy to train. Daisy learned ‘paw’, ‘sit’, ‘leave it’ and recall very easily and quickly.

Because their noses are so short, they have a tendency to ‘reverse sneeze’ which is quite frightening when it first happens. You can mistaken this for choking and panic. When it happens, if you stroke their throat gently, it eases.
