Otto is a very handsome two and a half year old boy he’s a lovely size at approximately 32kg. His owners explain that he’s a loving, affectionate boy who loves a cuddle. He enjoys long off lead walks in the woods, beach etc followed by a sleep on the sofa. He is eager to please and motivated by food. He has completed basic gun dog training although this was mainly for general behaviour as opposed to gundog work.
His owners have gone on many staycations with the dogs, which he loves.
Otto can be sensitive/anxious in certain scenarios and does take his time getting to know new people, if strangers stroke him he can sometimes mouth them particularly if overstimulated or tired however, once he knows you he loves all the attention.
He is well socialised with dogs known to his owners, he can sometimes be reactive towards other dogs when he’s passing them on the lead.
The family have a young baby and Otto has been struggling to adjust since the baby’s arrival and has become very unhappy in the home environment. Whilst he has been great around the baby he is finding it difficult in the house and is wanting to spend the majority of the day/night outside in the garden and/or garage. When inside he would rather be upstairs and away from them which is not like him. The dynamic between him and the other dog has now changed, there has never been any aggression/fights between them but Otto has now become fearful of the spaniel in the house. The owners believe that this stress is making him more reactive towards other dogs when out and about.
The family love Otto dearly but seeing the change in him is extremely difficult hence them looking to find him a more suitable new home that can help him with his confidence and allow him to thrive.
Otto is neutered and vaccinated with up to date flea and worm treatments. He has been left at home with the spaniel for company for 2-3 hours after exercise. He gets on well with dogs he knows and he regularly spends time with other dogs in the family. He can be reactive with unknown dogs when on the lead, but better when off lead.
Otto hasn’t met any livestock or cats that we are aware of, so his reactions are unknown.
He has been great with the newborn child but hasn’t had other introductions to other children in a home environment, but he has been fine around children out on walks.
Otto has a good recall to the whistle, he’s regularly walked off lead in open spaces beaches and woods etc. He’s also used to being walked with a dog walker, which he really enjoys. He’s a great traveler and will settle down alone or with the spaniel and snooze.
If you feel that you could offer this sensitive boy the calm home with lots of exercise and cuddles that he loves, please contact us.
Otto is currently in the Bury St Edmunds area and will be rehomed with his Agria 5 weeks free Insurance and his adoption Contract.
