Dead Eyes 680 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Want a good home for this dog that I saved from god only knows what tonight. He'll make someone a good project He lived with two wrong'uns before this. He's a real friendly guy and a joy to be around - he's just a little too boisterous for my girls. Plus I'm not allowed pets here - I took him because he was in a very bad situation 14 months old, born 13 December 2012. It was advertised as a patterdale but its a longhaired white thing. Originally bred in Orpington I'm told that his jabs are up to date - but I have no proof. As far as I can tell he is half trained for retrieving - he'll almost always bring a ball back but he has a habit of not dropping it if you're bent down to him and only will drop if you're stood up. He's fine on and off the lead (although I've yet to see another cat/dog so I'll update this part as necessary). He actually prefers being on the lead which I've never known before BAD BITS A tad overweight as you can probably see He still mouthes a little, but its gentle and he stops straight away. In fact, he stops pretty much anything as soon as he's told He barks a lot in the evening, although this is his first night here so it may just be that. Took him half an hour of being ignored to shut up. He's supposed to be house trained but he's pissed here and at my Dads - my father reckons its just marking but either way it ought to be mentioned to be fully honest Not crate trained, although I think his reluctance is because its from a 90lb GSD! This never takes long at all He literally has no clue what real food is - I gave him a chicken wing and he just dropped it back into his bowl again and still hasnt touched it. I know for certain that his diet was awful before this. Crisps as a bedtime snack etc He's a loving dog and seemingly keen to catch as he went ballistic after a squirell. He'll make a great dog in the right hands It cost me around £65 including my diesel, and a good home can have it for that - I've even got an old crate that can go with it too and a couple of packs of raw chicken. I'm not trying to make money - I just took a shine to him and didnt want the local fuckwits ending up with him. I'm on the Kent/East Sussex border and my Mrs is in Brighton so I can meet at either address or anywhere in between, just pm me Quote Link to post
Dead Eyes 680 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 It turns out that he's very, very good with other dogs If they growl he's ok. If they then go for him then he's relentless, choker chain or not. C'mon lads, He's far better than a pet home! Quote Link to post
busterbuster1969 313 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hope you find him a good home. Good on you for taking him in mate Quote Link to post
Dead Eyes 680 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Cheers bud His yapping in the evening has stopped easily, so far he's learning things really easily (I had to teach him how to walk down stairs as duly as that sounds!) Quote Link to post
