Bobby : Applications closed

Please read very carefully before applying for Bobby

Location Surrey KT13 Post Code area ,you will be requested to travel to carry out several meet and greets.

Bobby is looking for a new home due to his owners personal circumstances.

Work circumstances have changed ,they feel Bobby needs a home with people that can give Bobby more time that they can offer him.

Bobby originally lived across the pond in New York and came over to the UK in 2021 with his family.

We are looking for a home where his new owners can carry on with some training.

Bobby can be reactive to “some” dog’s whilst he is on his lead,this will involve him barking and letting the other dog know he is here. He has never been aggressive around other dogs. This is something that has only started quite recently, could be to do with the change of dynamics within his home.

Two young children one a toddler the other being a baby,could be a protective issue.

He fabulous 98% of the time ,it’s just with certain dogs.

Bobby goes on regularly walks with a profession dog walker, who takes other dogs along on the walks with him. Whilst Bobby is off his lead he is pretty good with meeting and greeting other dogs . Bobbys recall is good but sometimes get distracted, by wildlife or if he sees another dog on a lead. Sporadically other dogs stay at his home with visitors and the family have looked after friends dogs and there has been no issues.

Bobby can be rehomed with another dog ,this would involve several meet and greets . We do this to make sure all parties are happy, especially the dogs.

Can be rehomed with older dog savvy children over 11 years old. This age restriction is because sometime Bobby can get jealous if the attention is not on him.

If the adults in the family are playing with their children, Bobby gets jealous and this may manifests as trying to mount one of adults legs.

Bobby cannot live with a cat,he may chase them.

Must be willing to continue with Bobby’s training.

No showboating Bobby in the first week,he needs time to settle in his new home with his new people.

Never let a new rescue dog off their leads until you have complete trust in one another,takes seconds for a dog to run away and not come back.

You must have a safe and secure garden with no gaps in fences,and a lock on any gates. Requires a home close to great walks and being able to go outside as he has become accustomed to this and would not suit City living.

If you have a holiday planned in the future please state on your application form

Grooming Requirements

Bobby has a wavy coat,only sheds minimally as all dogs shed some amount.

He is happy to be brushed and combed at home and has his paws washed on a daily basis. He is taken to a professional groomers every 6-8wks . Is washed weekly and is brushed periodically as we keep his coat relatively short. When his fur is longer he requires more regular brushing to avoid matting.

Exercise

Bobby 1-2 walks per day. 1 is a minimum of one hour,but frequently longer with the second a shorter walk, generally 30mins.

He does go off his lead,but we advise not doing this ,until he has complete trust with you in a safe and secure area. Bobby does not pull on his lead. He loves to run and explore on walks though always remains close by his owners. He used to love running around with other dogs as a puppy ,but in the last 2 years he is much more placid in that regard but is happily be in other dogs company.

Bobbys general obedience is generally good, and this can be improved with consistent training,as with any dog it’s always good to continue. His owners have worked on training Bobby and he has improved massively.

General Information

Bobby is a very easy going dog as a general rule. Bobby is very warm and loving, he absolutely adores being stroked/having people's full attention. When meeting new people he gets very excited and tries to greet them (he can jump owners are training him not to/this has reduced). Normally after the initial meeting he will calm down and chill out. He loves to lounge around, on anything comfortable or in the sunshine. Everyone who spends time with him always comments how easy he is to look after.

Bobby has never shown aggression to any person, including children.

He has frequently been taken to cafes/pubs and is always well behaved and sits under the table/chairs with no issues.

Despite being a lockdown puppy Bobby has been very well socialised, this is due to having a great family whom made sure he was exposed to many daily things in life.

Bobby is toilet trained,but any dogs can have accidents especially upon being in a new environment.

He is encouraged to sleep in his bed at night, however he will vary where he sleeps so when he doesn't chose his bed he will sleep on a sofa downstairs, under or on the bed of his owners or on the bed in the spare bedroom.

Bobby is generally fine being left alone. He will realise once his owners are leaving the house he will go to the door and sit on the mat and want to go with them. Once it’s clear they he is being left he will go and find somewhere to relax.

NOTE WE WILL NOT REHOME TO ANYONE THAT LEAVES A DOG ANY LONGER THAN 3 HOURS PER DAY.

Dogs are social animals and require human contact and stability.
