Kika – Terrier Cross
Update – MAy 2023 –
Now if you’ve been following us for a while you may well be familiar with this beautiful girl. Kika is our longest stayer, often over looked Kika has been with us for over 6 years. There have been limited applications for Kika but for one reason or another they haven’t worked out but we can assure you it’s not due to lack of effort.
Kika recently went in to foster, in a child free home and has made friends with the resident dogs.
On walks she has shown herself to be trustworthy and has excellent recall , especially if she knows you have tasty treats. Kika is friendly and likes saying hello to everyone, she can be a frustrated greeter when on lead but you can occupy her with treats and reassurance as people or dogs go past.
Kika loves to be outside but she equally enjoys cuddles on the sofa. She’s really settled in to family life and wants to be involved, she enjoys being near you wether it be if you’re cooking (did we mention she loves food?!), gardening or simply relaxing reading or watching telly etc. Kika does have separation anxiety which will need to be managed and following our training methods you will eventually be able to leave her for short periods of time. Kika travels well in the car and doesn’t suffer from car sickness.
Speaking to Kika’s foster family it’s clear she has made herself at home and is enjoying a quiet family life. They are teaching her about the outside world and helping her to adapt to life outside of kennels. She is affectionate and thoughtful, watching and learning from both the resident dogs and her humans.
With Kika you will have a devoted companion, she enjoys affection, loves company and relishes walks. She wants to please and is a quick learner, she’ll have you trained in no time!
We feel she will be suited to a semi rural life where she gets to go on country walks away from the hustle and bustle of busy towns. Kika can live on her own or equally after introductions can live with other dogs.

This is the beautiful Kika. Kika was one of the many dogs abandoned in Spain – she ended up in the same perrera as
Lolo. Time was not on her side – she is a larger (15 kilo) cross – and she ran out of time – they needed to clear kennels and she would be the next to go. I had been asked if we could help her several times – and we said we were unable – but I got a final message asking if I could just try and squeeze her in – if we said No – Kika would lose her life – it is really that simple.
We have never regretted saving a dog – and they deserve a loving family and a chance to get to shine. Could you be Kika’s Guardian Angel? She is one of our longest stay dogs and we cannot understand why, she has so much to offer and is so much fun.
Kika is 4 years old – she is a female cross – we arent sure but think Bull Terrier / Collie Cross – she is a bit larger that a fox terrier – she is a very loving girl and she needs a family that has the time and commitment to her.
Kika has all the Collie traits – quick brain, busy brain, active brain. She would do well at anything that requires her to work her intellect. She loves to be busy doing things and would make a wonderful Agility or Scent dog. If you keep her brain busy she will follow you to the ends of the earth. So if you are an active person that is looking for a companion dog – then this is the girl for you! Whatever you put in – she will return 100 fold! She has a natural retrieve instinct and she wants to interact with you. She is very treat orientated – and she can count. If you put four treats in your pocket – and give her three – she knows you have one left in your pocket – and will not leave until sums add up!
She also has the Bull Terrier trait of being all muscle and she has strength – so can be a bit of a bulldozer. We love her enthusiasm and we love her forward momentum – but because of this we cant rehome her with small children and people that may be human skittles.
Whoever adopts Kika must be prepared to commit to her.
Kika has severe separation anxiety. She will bark while alone , pace and so on. Even popping to the shops for 5 minutes, going into the office once or twice a week for an hour or two will not work. Any prospective family should be prepared to work with us to help her gradually build up the time she can manage to be alone.
She is in Norfolk – she is speyed, vaccinated, passported and health checked. She cannot live with young children or small furries.
We want this year to be Kika’s year. If you can be the one in a million family please contact us.
