Grooming Requirements

Professionally groomed every 6 weeks
Exercise
Dug loves his walks and is walked for around an hour per day
He is only let off his lead in a hired paid for,dog paddock
We do not recommend any rescue dog be allowed off their leads,unless you are confident with their recall
Dugs recall is hot and miss,can easily be distracted (we believe more recall training is a appropriate)
Initially Dug can pull on his lead,but use a halti so this aids not pulling
He will pull if he sees a cat.
Interacts with other dogs he is friendly and approachable. Likes to say hello and displays he wants to play.
Further Information
Dug is your typical young goofy doodle,very energetic and bouncy
Playful dog who enjoys chasing a ball and football
He enjoys a good ear scratch and is a loveable giant who doesnt realise his size
He has never shown any aggressive behaviour and has never bitten
He would benefit from some further training. He follows “sit” and “paw”. Recall to the word “here” but this is hit and miss.
Enrolling in training sessions is great bonding for owners and dogs
House guests and people :- Dug is very friendly/bouncy. Will jump up at people who come into the house. Likes to rub against people on walks and be stroked.
Dug is toilet trained,but we do state any dog can urinate,mark or soil whilst settling into their new environment
Dug sleeps on his owners bed at night,if it gets too hot he removes himself to the floor
( whilst any dog is settling into a new home,we ask do sleep in the same room as them for the first few nights)
He can be left for short periods of time,this is best after he has been walked
His owners leave him enriching items such as a snuffle mat or kong
Never been destructive with furniture
He has on occassion chewed items he has been able to reach such as pens/pencils/TV remote or childrens toys.
Travels well in the car in the back seat,with a dog friendly harness attached
Dug dislikes fireworks and loud bangs
Unsure if Dug can swim,never had the opportunity to try
Favourite toys and games:- Football. Likes a variety of toys/soft toys but enjoys a flyaway football.
He is such a gentle giant ,who has so much love to give ,and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the day ,and be able to take him on adventures
He loves the company of other dogs ,and has boarded with home boarders who speak only positivly of Dug
He is a large part of his current family ,but they feel he needs and deserves a lot more than they can give him
His owners will only ever let him go ,knowing it is the right home for him,and Doodle Aid will support /help to find this beautiful young boy the best home
If you live in rented accommodation we will require documentation that a dog can live in this home
