I’m Kia, a working line sable girl with brains, bounce, and a brilliant nose. I thrive on sniffing out food and toys — it’s not just fun, it’s my kind of therapy. I’m learning to slow down, choose sniffing over constant toy play, and enjoy calm, thoughtful routines. I’m busy by nature, but I’m also learning that stillness can be wonderful.

 

What I love:

• Sniffing games that tire my brain and body

• Affection— let me choose - once I know you I’ll come back for more if you don’t rush me

• Toys, especially when they’re part of a calm setup

• Watching the world go by

• Car travel – I am the perfect travelling companion

• Predictability and routine – once I understand the routine I will flourish

 

What I need:

• A home that understands my working brain and gives me calm stimulation

• Predictable routines and quiet walks

• Guardians who respect my space and let me choose connection

• Gentle grooming with breaks — I’ll come back when I’m ready

• Time and patience

• Quiet walks where I can sniff

• Choices – if you give me true choices it helps build my confidence knowing I can walk away if I am overwhelmed

• No other dogs, definitely no cats and no small furries as I have quite a high prey drive

• No young children as I am very grabby with toys

 

My ideal home: I’m looking for someone who sees my brilliance and meets it with kindness. I don’t need chaos or constant activity — I need thoughtful engagement, calm enrichment, and a relationship built on trust. I’m not bothered by other dogs, and I’m learning to watch quietly when I have space. I’m ready to thrive with someone who understands that busy doesn’t mean frantic — it means fulfilled.
