About Miss Iroquois the Petite | |

Miss Iroquois came to us from Seminole County Animal Control. One day in mid-November, Mary Beth, the administrator, called Judy and asked if there was room at the inn for a pregnant dog. Well, we can't bear the idea of a dog giving birth in a shelter like that so of course Judy said yes. That very same evening, Miss Iroquois gave birth to seven puppies! We gave her that ludicrous name to honor the first birth in our new Adoption Center on Iroquois Avenue in Sanford. Seven puppies, one for each day that we had been in the Center.
We continue to blessed by having an army of fosters willing to open up their homes and hearts to cats and dogs while they wait for their forever home. Two such people are Danielle and Andy. They quickly stepped forward to take this little momma and her babies, giving them a safe, warm place to rest and grow. Within hours of arriving home, Danielle sent me photos and this update:
"Miss Iroquois is definitely a lover and really enjoys people ~ a very gentle girl with deep pools for eyes. Breed? That's a good question. She's mostly black with white socks, but has the delicate face of a dachshund. She looks more like a sight hound than a lab, but she's actually quite small. Whippet? Grey? Short coat. I haven't tried to weigh her, but I'm guessing in the neighborhood of 35 lbs. Being that she just gave birth, she need to redistrubute some of that uterus weight, but she's not too far off. A little thin maybe, but she does have that sighthound look.
Indeed, very friendly. She let me pick up her puppies and take them away; she seems like she's walked on a leash before, and also seems housebroken. There are 7 puppies, 3 girls and 4 boys. I think. They are all black with random little white patches. I have no clue how I'm going to tell them apart. "
I can't wait to see how this little family grows! Her babies will probably be ready by the end of January.
12/12 Foster Update:
Iri is just a lover. She noticed that I was lacking a dog in my lap the other night, so she nicely filled the space, and just kept gazing up at me. She's such a sweetie. Cat safe and great with other dogs, too. She has several old scars under her chin... I think she realizes that she got a heck of a deal in life considering where she was before.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Border Collie originated in Northumberland on the Scottish/English border. The breed is descended from old British droving breeds with some spaniel added. An outstanding herder, this hardy, agile, untiring sheepdog, is capable of mastering any type of herd. It is said that the Border Collie has an eye that can hypnotize cattle. He crouches down and mesmerizes the animals with its intense stare. One of the most trainable breeds, the Border Collie also serves well as a narcotics and bomb detection dog and is a frequent high performer in obedience, agility, Frisbee(TM) trials, police work, search & rescue, Flyball, performing tricks and competitive obedience. Some Border Collies have been trained very successfully as blind guide dogs. Currently very good results are obtained with them for general assistance to the handicapped in The Netherlands. The Border Collie is a very intelligent and responsive dog. They thrive on praise, are sensitive and very trainable. The Border Collie is highly energetic with great stamina. Provided it gets sufficient activity to keep it occupied and ample exercise, the Border Collie will get along quite happily with other dogs, and children, however the Border Collie may be aggressive with other dogs of the same sex. They should not be trusted with small non-canine pets, however there are plenty of Border Collies that live and get along with family cats. This breed should be very well socialized as a puppy to prevent shyness. To be truly happy, it needs a lot of: ongoing attention, extensive daily exercise, and a job to do. For those who wish to reach high levels in dog sports, the Border Collie is a gift from heaven. Farmers (for whom the dogs perform work for which they were bred) are also happy with them. It is
