Expressions of interest in 2 older girls. We have a 6 year old and a 7 year old. Both girls are desexed. Our Lowchen live to be over 15 years without major health issues. Both girls have clear eye certificates and excellent knees, no heart issues. 6 year old is a princess who wants to be carried around and told she's pretty. Lower energy, perfect companion for a single person or quiet couple. 7 year old girl is head strong and energetic. She's keen for what life has to offer. She loves fetching toys, suits older children or an active couple/single. Dog experience preferred. These girls have spent their life as house dogs so need bed and couch privileges. Local to Brisbane is preferred to support and ease the transition.
