This very handsome chap is 8 year old Dexter. He is looking for an active home with lots of lovely walks and attention.
His family have had to make this sad decision because they feel that with two young children 4 and 6 and both working full time he isn’t getting the exercise and attention that he loves.
Dexter has no medical issues and no major behavioural issues – except for a cauliflower ear caused from shaking his head due to ear infections that have left his ear damaged but causes him no pain according to his owners. Dexter gets very anxious at the vets so his jabs are not currently up to date and he hasn’t been neutered. He starts to get upset as soon as they arrive in the carpark. He also dislikes fireworks and will try and hide in a safe place.
Dexter is very good when left at home even for 4-5 hours after exercise, he is happy to sit by the front window and watch the outside world go by. He’s never been desructive when left and is usually found snoozing on the sofa when allowed.
He is fine around livestock but will chase cats.
He’s very good with children and is currently living with two, his owners say that they just have to be careful when someone knocks the door as he will run and totally forget about the children and has knocked them over in his eagerness to greet the visitors, he’s also very gentle when he has toys and the children are retreiving them from him.
While walking he can be quite strong so his owners use a Halti on his extendable lead, which they find helps. His recall apparently depends on his mood, some days it’s good other days he doesn’t listen much at all according to his owners, on his good days he happily comes to “This way” but they admit that they haven’t been consistent with it. He gets on with most dogs but can be a little wary of black dogs.
He’s a good traveller and will sit up for a while then sleep in his bed.
Gorgeous Dexter is in the Nottingham area and will be rehomed with our Adoption Contract and his 5 weeks free Agria insurance. If you think you can offer him the time and long walks that he loves please contact us
