Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:22 pm Post subject: Amba Staffie x Hound DOB 05.08 Gatwick (N) Kennels
Homing Requirements: Small Staffiex Young energy: Highly trainable. Needs Staffie experienced home and she's be easy, just taming her enthusiasm! Can get excited 'leap kiss' catching clothes needs management technique and soon calms. Ideally to live with another dog. Needs fair-sized garden or open fields. Sensitive skin to chemicals and certain collars. Overshot jaw, but manages food well. She is petite; her pictures don't portray this.
Her Story: Found Stray as a very young dog, grown up in kennels, fostered for short durations. Amba is neutered, chipped and vax'd.
Advert:Amba is a magnificent crossbreed with a vibrant golden red coat. She stands elegant and runs with glee and spirit, like the wind. She is 2 years old and sadly spent most of her life in kennels. She loves people and adores dogs. Adapts well in new settings as long as her excited moments are calmed! She was fostered with 2 larger dogs male and female and learned manners, commands and had great fun, Amba also loved being up close and is comfortable with horses. She needs a good exercise regime with access to a sizeable garden to rebuild her confidence. Amba is spayed, chipped and vax'd.
Amba loves to meet people, copes with busy social events and responds well to new situations. She is smallish, but her proportions are such in photos she tends to look twice her size. Amba..she is so lovely, fabulous cross breed with 'pharaoh hound' looks and an amazing personality. She can get a little excited so 2 long walks a day and she settles into an easy delightful and oh so loving dog. Amba has a huge fan club and on meeting you'll be captivated!

"Please note this dog is currently in boarding kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found"
Below is Amba's thread
Amba is a Staffiex? Sighthound who was rescued a couple of months back from a dog pound after she was picked up as a stray and never claimed.
The new home she was in had a young child who had to go into hospital due to chest problems (not allergies) the new owner admitted that he could not cope with Amba and his child's issues. Amba was taken into foster care, but then Amba is quite high energy level and needed extra training.
The foster carer was told she was a chihuahua x until she arrived She wanted to play with her 8 dogs..choas ensued.
Amba came to the kennels about a week ago. Since then she has been spayed, first vaccinated and microchipped. She is also being trained not to jump up so much and we are trying to teach her some self control when it comes to saying hello to new people!
Amba would be better suited to a home with older (teenage) children or an adult household as she is young, exhuberant and young children will get her far too over-excited considering she needs one to one to help her.
Amba is now the queen of the castle...Donnington Castle no less. All news so far is good she is getting used to her new regime in foster...update sooon... _________________ You can't train the terrier out of a terrier!

Picked Amba up on wed, she was an angel in the car slept on the back seat all the way. We dont see any terrier in her she looks very phaorah hound x to us.
Because of the bad weather, which she is finding a little too cold so has been wearing two jackets (what a whimp), we had salt down on the yard which did not impress Amba at all, as her feet were so soft it iritated them. Her feet are rapidly toughening up and she is enjoying being out more as a result.
After one telling off she has learnt the pecking order and is too busy having a brilliant time playing with the other dogs to be bothered that she is at the bottom of the pile.
Working out wot horses are didn't take long, she soon realised they really are not that fun and their poo is much more interesting lol she decided today that the horse lorry is a perfect new hide out her very own palace, which is good, as she is comming with us to her 1st competition this wknd, where she will get to meet lots of horses, dogs and people, and see lots of new things.
She is learning the basic commands but its early days yet and there are distractions apleanty lol she much prefers to get all the toys out of the basket as quick as we can put them back in. One of her favorite tricks is to fall off the sofa onto her back in a pile, not very clever but doesn't seem to bother her.
We love her already she is a real character!

Hey well as promised here is the update after having a very hectic weekend. We have all been to a competition thats myself and Ellie, (humans) Lordy and Large action (horses) and Dudley Vixen and Amba (Dogs) Great time was had by all. Amba loved being out and about in the lorry was left alone with the other dogs whilst we rode for around 2 and half hours. We then took them all for a walk in the new forest and she was a dream on the lead which was a horse lead rope!!!! travelled back really well.
She is learning how to sit lie down and stay, today we had a lie down with no treats. yipee. She loves being out on the yard now that her pads have hardened up and running around with the other dogs. Horse feed also tastes pretty good. Amba has also found a new passsion in life which is our log fire, she loves curling up in front of it in the evenings on the sheepskin rug.
She is a very cuddly dog likes nothing better than sitting on your lap and just crashing out.

Hey totally agree its really doesn't but was the only thing we had to hand she now has a posh sheepskin coat aswell as her out door rug. she really is a sweetie needs a loving castle to call her own
why do we always fall for dogs that look like our own lol what a lovely picture. and what a lovely pic of her face too - so unusual - you can see soo many different possibilities in her!
Amba came for a jog with me today. Lots of energy - getting the harness on was a bit of a challenge but managed with some help. Interested in everything but especially her reflection in the shop windows! Stood reasonably well while I had a cup of tea but wanted to say hello and put her paws on my lap. Still raring to go after the tea break so we ran a bit further before heading back. Completely scatty but glad to be out. A bit concerned by a huge cone in the underpass but got past bravely.

Poor sweet Amber. She isn't doing well in kennels although she loves Emma and the other girls. She was more subdued than before and has trouble keeping her weight on. We had a nice walk though. She has had some bad experiences but Emma is going to work with her so she can mix happily with a non threatening dog. Will walk her next week as well.

We walked Amba today (me and my 11 year old daughter) and she was just adorable. She came to the cafe for a cup of tea. She was interested in everything and so cuddly. It was a real pleasure to have her with us. _________________ www.furryfriendsrescue.co.uk
Took Amba out today for a lovely walk. She is down in mood ... and sauntered along like the lioness that she is. Camera malfunction ... pressed the wrong button ... so all the good pictures came out blue ... goes with her mood ... so can't use them but her beauty will shine through. All the chickens ran up to her and she just looked on. "Oh Amba you need your home".
Amba is a cross breed. Not really a Staffie in frame or makeup. She is a lovely cross breed about 17-18" to the shoulder ... and soooo lovely. I promised her, her home would come soon. It will ...
