Echo

Echo is a beautiful, kind and gentle but energetic Saluki lurcher, she is approximately 3 years old. She is very scared of all people and bolts to get away. She LOVES all other dogs and would like a canine friend in her new home who will run around with her and give her the confidence she lacks around people and out and about on walks. She really does want to be with people and can be easily handled (once caught!) But is very frightened by close contact. She is house trained but does have ‘accidents’ if left alone too long or frightened by loud noises etc. She would like a new home with calm people who have lots of patience and a regular routine. I don’t think she’d do well living with children as sudden fast movements really frighten her and so does lots of noise.

She is very spooked out on a walk and tries to run away from things that frighten her so won’t be able to be let off the lead. She has low prey drive and good food manners. She would love a large garden in her new home with lots of room for her and her new doggie friend to chase around in. It would need very secure high fencing with no escape holes as at first, whilst still settling in she will try to escape when she’s frightened, she likes trees and bushes to hide behind so she can watch people without being too close. When you have eventually gained Echo’s trust she tolerates being stroked and I think one day she’ll grow to really enjoy it. With the company of another dog she will settle down on the sofa as long as people sit still and aren’t too close. In time Echo will make the right person a loyal companion and will enjoy playing games with them too.
