My wife and I just bought a 2 year old chocolate doxie from a breeder in alabama. It has been three days now and she still acts very weird.
If we put her in her crate she backs all the way back and will not come out unless we get her out. when we take her out for walks on the leash she just tries to bolt behind a bush to hide. I hardly ever see her eat or drink from her bowls and she ususlly just burrows herself under a blanket on the couch or hides under the bed. If we go to interact with her she shows no aggression at all, but she is very gittery with her tail between her legs. The only time she acts like a normal dog is when my wife and I go to bed. She jumps up there with us and plays around with us for a bit before we sleep.
It's upsetting seeing her like this. I'm quite sure that she is not sick. I do know however that she was not raised with too much contact with any other creatures than other doxies and that may have something to do with it. She is 2 years old. She is just very unsocial and seemingly nervous.
She is not mindful of our other dog at all
I would like to stress that she shows no agression at all, just very nervouse and scared at times.
Anyone have any input or suggestions?
