Rory - Cavalier x Maltese x Shitzu

Rory is a 13-year old cavalier x maltese x shizhu (although we thought she was a cavoodle for the first 4 years so we still think of her that way!)

Who is Rory really?

Rory absolutely loves people and always has! When we go to the dog park, she goes up to all the other owners for pats and cuddles rather than playing with the other dogs! And unlike a lot of smaller dogs, kids are her favourite!

She will ignore treats, cuddles and sometimes commands(!) in preference for pats from willing children.

Rory also loves...

... tummy and ear scratches and curling up next to clients for pats while they talk. She's a bit past the point of playing chase in sessions these days, but she can still sneak in a lightening fast lick! You've been warned! 

Most importantly Rory absolutely loves her work. As soon as I pack her ‘work bag’ (with her coat and bedding) she starts to do happy leaps around the house and as soon as we pull up at the office the tail is going non-stop.
