About This Dog

Richard's ideal home

Richard is a 6-year-and-1-month-old boy with a worried nature . He’s a medium-energy dog who enjoys his walks and playtime but is equally happy to relax once he’s had some fun. Reggie can feel conflicted when meeting other dogs, particularly those with over-the-top, bouncy play styles, so he would benefit from calm, well-mannered canine companions such as Titch and Bruce who he shares a kennel with or being the only dog in the home. While he may be able to live with other dogs, cats, and small furries, are unknown as we have no known history of him doing so. He could live with sensible children aged 11+ who understand how to give him space when needed. Richard cannot be left alone for long periods and will need any alone time built up gradually and patiently. This little guy is fearful on lead and in new, unknown environments

Could you be Richard's perfect match?

Are you right for Richard? He’s looking for a patient, understanding home committed to helping him settle in and continue his housetraining. Consistency, kindness, and plenty of tasty treats (his absolute favourite and a great motivator for his ongoing training) will go a long way with him. Is Richard right for you? If you’re ready to invest time in building his confidence around other dogs, and a calm home with minimal guests. if you can offer companionship for most of the day, and want a loving, affectionate dog to share your life with, Richard could be the perfect match.
