Additional Details:

Candy just arrived from the Tri-State Race Track in WV where she raced 4 races. She raced the rest of her 22 races at the Wheeling WV race track. She only won 2 races and raced at the lower C and D levels. Her last race was August 22nd of 2024 and she has been back with her owner on the farm since then. Her sire is the famous DJays Octane and her dam is PJ Kool Aid. Candy will turn 4 on July 6th. She is a smaller girl racing at 60lbs. Candy is a timid girl, that has been very overwhelmed by everything new. She seems to want affection, but can be very cautious at first with people she doesn't know and approaches carefully or stays at a distance. She likes her routine and learned which kennel was hers the first night. She is very quiet in her kennel and considers it her safe place. She chooses to stay in her kennel even with the door open. She seems to do best with other dogs around and is less nervous and braver with other dogs to follow. She showed no interest in chasing the cat or small dog she met, so could live with either. She approached kids and seemed to be cautiously friendly with them. Because she is shy, Candy would probably do best in a quiet home with quiet kids or no children. Candy is a sweet little girl that will need time and patience to adapt and build confidence with her new family. Dogs that are shy can take months to warm up. She is good with other dogs and seems to try to avoid any conflict.
