What Skyler Needs in Her Forever Home

To help Skyler thrive, her new home should meet a few key requirements. She’s a dog with specific needs, and the right environment will allow her to flourish.

Ideal Home Environment

  • A Spacious Yard: Skyler would love a secure yard to run, play, and dig to her heart’s content.
  • No Young Kids: She’s best suited for homes with teenagers or adults, as she needs time to adjust to small children.
  • Pet Considerations: Skyler hasn’t been tested with other dogs or cats, so a pet-free home or a slow introduction is recommended.
  • Active Lifestyle: Walks are a must for Skyler, though she may act cautious around unfamiliar people—she just needs a patient owner to build her confidence.

Skyler’s Quirks to Embrace

  • Water? Not Her Thing: While she can swim, Skyler prefers to stay dry, so bath time might require some gentle coaxing.
  • Sleep Preferences: She’s happy snoozing in her own bed or sneaking into a teen’s bed for extra cuddles.
  • Digging Enthusiast: Skyler loves digging holes during walks, so a yard with a designated digging spot would be a bonus.
  • Skyler’s Escape Artist Tendencies: Skyler has a mischievous streak and an occasional knack for escaping if given the chance. Whether it’s slipping through an unsecured gate or darting out an open door during a moment of distraction, she’s been known to embark on little adventures. Her curious nature means her new home will need a secure yard and vigilant supervision to keep her safe while she explores her surroundings.

About the Pekehund Breed

The Pekehund, a cross between a Dachshund and a Pekingese, is a small breed typically weighing 4–7 kg and standing about 20–30 cm tall at the shoulder. Known for their bold personalities, they combine the Dachshund’s playful energy with the Pekingese’s loyalty. Pekehunds often have short to medium-length coats, requiring moderate grooming. They’re prone to back issues (like Dachshunds) and can be stubborn, but with proper care, they make devoted companions. Always consult a vet for breed-specific health advice.
