posted 17th April 2006  --  NOW  RE-HOMED AND VERY HAPPY  -----MAY 2006

18 MONTH OLD MALE CASTRATED  -  He was brought into us due to the owners long working hours, he was being left outside in a kennel for twelve hours a day. He obviously was getting bored and fed up with this as had broken through the garden fence. We have suggested that he is not left for more than four hours a day. He is good with other dogs & interacts well, could live with another dog who was social & interactive, although would suggest not another juvenile as can get a bit over excited. He is a well mannered young man, who is lots of fun & in the right hands would make a great addition. He lived with a four year old child & was good, although rather boisterous and was becoming protective of the child in the house (no aggression though). We have passed him for teens, with younger visiting children ok, for this reason. Can be a bit cheeky on lead & will jump up & wriggle about etc, making it difficult to walk him, is just a youngster though in need of a bit of training. Does walk well if kept on a short lead though. Needs a large home with large, secure garden and plenty of stimulation, also needing new owners with experience of this breed or a similar type. May need some work with his recall as history states will not come back if chasing rabbits/rats! The command his owner used in a recall was 'biscuit'?! No issues seen here on a stranger test, is very happy to meet anybody at this stage. Enjoys all hands on, so happy being groomed (although is very matted & in desperate need of a clip off), handled & restrained. Likes his food, knows sit & down. Definitely a good motivation for training, distraction, food toys etc. Many thanks for helping us out, although I am not familiar with the breed he does seem like a really lovely lad, if rather huge!
