Rory - Cavalier x Maltese x Shitzu

Rory is an 10-year old cavalier x maltese x shizhu (although we thought she was a cavoodle for 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 doesn’t mind a game of chase either (even in session) and has a new found love of agility training.

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.
