At just 26 lbs, Birdi is a pocket rocket of a pup! She is eager, biddable, and brilliant. She loves to train and will choose working for her meals over a bowl full of kibble any day! When she's not learning new tricks, she will play fetch until she drops and then enjoys snuggling next to her person. She is a pro at the scent wheel and has begun alerting to live low blood sugars. Birdi has an impressive pedigree (found here) and has been fully health tested. She has clear DNA results for genetic conditions as well as OFA good hips (prelims), PennHIP results that are tighter than the breed average, OFA Normal elbows, and OFA Normal patellas. She received extra health testing because she provided us with MD Dogs first litter of Neonatal Scent Imprinted puppies.
Birdi has been in training as a Service Dog since she was 8 weeks old, and has been fully trained by MD Dogs founder and author, Libby Rockaway. Throughout Birdi's time in training she has been exposed to countless scenarios to prepare her for life as a Service Dog, and she has even competed in AKC events, earning 4 titles and placing in large classes every time she competes. The titles she has earned are: Rally Novice (RN), Beginner Novice Obedience (BN), Dock Master (DM), and Trick Dog Novice (TKN). Birdi's AKC registered name is "SNIPS BIRDI FOR BG IN THE BLUEGRASS BN RN DM TKN".
Birdi’s ideal person would live a very active lifestyle and be excited not just to have an alert dog, but to learn more about dog training and want to fully include her in their life. Birdi is being placed as a full public access Diabetic Alert Dog, with no age restrictions for the recipient as she is great with all ages! And if she’s being picky, Birdi would love to be the only dog and have a body of water readily available for her swimming pleasure - but those are just preferences :). Birdi will ideally be available to be placed within 3 hours driving distance of Lexington KY but slightly further distances can be discussed.
Below is a list of Birdi's trained commands and demo videos. Public access test video will be available in the coming weeks.
