Archie

Meet Archie

Requirements

Archie needs a home with people who have the time for an active/energetic dog.

He needs more exercise, plus stimulation, he is highly intelligent and loves to be around people.

He really is a good candidate for agility or scent work.

He has never lived with another dog, but other dogs have stayed at his property with no issues.

We would consider rehoming Archie with another dog, as long as you are prepared to carry out many meet and greets.

Archie lives happily with a cat, if you own a cat we would recommend slow introductions, as his cat is different to your cat.

With children we will only rehome him with children aged 12, as he will knock little ones over with his bouncy lively behaviour.

Archie can be left a few hours per day, but whilst settling into a new home we would prefer his new owners to be at home.

Your garden must be safe and secure, as he can jump over smaller fences.

6 foot fencing/walls are requested.

If you have gates these also must be tall and with locks.

If you have any holidays planned, please state on your application form.

Background

Archie is looking for his forever home due to his owners lifestyle being incompatible with Archie’s requirements.

Archie is an active/energetic/bouncy young dog. He can be stubborn at times and will need people willing to support him with some extra training.

He is a home boy loves a routine and dislikes too much change, he can get anxious and excited at the same time, with this he does not bark but cries as only dogs do.

He is very much loved by his folks, adores people and has never shown any aggression to people or dogs.

Exercise

Archie needs a short walk every day. His owners try to get him out to the beach or in the fields to run and play with his ball several times a week.

He does pull on his lead and his recall will need some addressing. With any rescue dog we can only suggest do not allow them off lead unless you have complete trust and control. We believe more socialisation would really benefit him.

In terms of interaction with other dogs whilst out and about, Archie is often excited by other dogs and wants to play. He occasionally becomes aggravated and barks depending on if another dog has annoyed him.

Like us humans, we do not like some humans, and not all dogs like some other dogs.

From his owners

We feel Archie would benefit greatly from someone with the time and energy to give him. In return, we are sure they will gain a loyal companion. Archie requires a lot of stimulation and exercise to be content and we struggle to provide this. We have often thought he’d be a great candidate for something like agility or gun dog training and he’s very bright and energetic and not scared of loud noises or fireworks.

Archie is also very happy to relax in the house but can become unsettled if not stimulated and becomes very bouncy and overexcited when having visitors.

Archie is fine to be left alone in his crate and will happily snooze, though we don’t leave him alone for any long periods. Archie is certainly happiest around his people and will follow us around the house.

Archie is generally fine with other dogs subject to introductions and we often have friends and family dogs come to stay with us, after Archie’s initial burst of excitement this has never been an issue and they get on great.
