Haizee is a 2 year old Blue female, who was re-homed to us around May 2003, from Mackay. This girl was delirious when she got off the plane, very confused!! It took her about 6 - 8 weeks to really settle in and for her true personality to come out. With Haizee, it took a lot a patience and hard loving. Because of her change in environment and confusion, she tore everything in her way. The garden hose was in 10 pieces, clothes were scattered around the yard, shoes went missing!! (Hey, at least she didn't dig!) We really thought it would never end. We were persistent in training her ourselves and letting her know we loved her. Bit by bit she came around and surprised us with her intelligence. She is a great guard dog and does not bark for no reason. She adapted well in her new home and loves going to the beach; she's like a kangaroo bouncing over the water. She enjoys her visits to the dog park where she runs around with other dogs. She often thinks she is the size of a poodle or something similar as she loves to box other dogs with her huge paws. Haizee loves chasing the ball around and her squeaky toys and tells 'you' when play time has arrived. We are very pleased and extremely happy with our new family member and hope that she has a long, long life, because to us, she is irreplacable.
