Background: Lidiya was born and raised at SFC and has blessed us with five amazing litters. Each litter we have kept back a piece of her to carry on her lineage within our program. Lidiya is a sweet, calm by nature, lovable young lady. She is a lilac cream genetically but to the naked eye, appears to be a dark red in color. Her coat is long and does require minimal grooming. Her coat is not full due to having heat cycles and litters. After her spay this winter, I anticipate her coat to come in fully and will be fluffy. Lidiya is about 7.0 pounds. She knows her name pretty well, but it can be changed if necessary. She does well with both men and women, but prefers me as I have been her mom since birth. She has grown up with our three sons, but our sons are now young adults so I am unsure how she will do with small children or cats. She once lived with large breed dogs but it's been over a year since she has been around another one. Lidiya is coming from a breeding environment so will need to be potty trained in a new environment. At this time she is used to indoor potty pads and a dog door to use her yard. This typically improves after alteration and when they are removed from a breeding environment, but please do not attempt to adopt her if you are wanting a fully house trained animal. Like every animal we post for rehoming, we hope you would understand that they will have accidents initially and will need patience! Lidiya is a submissive girl and has never shown any tendencies of being dominant or aggressive. Lidiya does well in the car for small trips like to the Vet or to grooming appointments but she does tend to get car sick. She is dog door trained and crate trained. She has never been walked on a leash with a harness but you can teach an old dog new tricks! We have rehomed a lot of dogs over the years and they all seem to mesh into a new environment fairly well with time and patience. She is a very loving companion and would be an ideal pet for someone who needs a constant friend nearby. Please consider Lidiya for your home and family. 

She has been genetically health tested with Embark and is clear in all breed relevant categories. She has had her heart, eyes and patellas certified with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. 

​

We encourage all prospective adopters to really think this through and not take on a dog that may not work for you. We want her next home to be her forever home. To submit an application for Lidiya, please use our puppy application for consideration.
