My background:
Hello, my name is Howard! The team here don't know anything about my past as I was rescued as a stray without a previous owner claiming me. It didn't take me long to bond with my handlers and show them my wonderful nature!
My personality:
I am a very loving and loyal boy, I will quickly form a bond with you as I am people orientated and loves to please. I don't like being on my own because of my sociable nature and desire to be on the go.
How I feel about people:
I love people! I am a happy and out going boy when it comes to meeting new people. Be prepared for me to lean on your legs and gaze into your eyes await a huge fuss! Despite being so good with people, I do need an adult only home due to my bounciness. Even though I am one years old, I am still learning and maturing so I need a home to continue training whilst I am at this adolescent age. I can be bouncy, jump p and play mouth making me unsuitable to be around children because of my size. Please note, the team aren't sure of my bred mix, but I am reaching Irish Wolfhound size.
How I feel about other dogs:
I do like other dogs and have a playful nature, however I haven’t many manners when it comes to greeting dogs and I do get frustrated at times. With the right introductions I can walk alongside dogs and be relaxed. I need an experienced adopter to continue desensitising me to other dogs before I am ready to get up close and play. This mean I don't posses the skills to live with a dog right now.
What I love:
I love anything that involves you! I don't like being left alone. I love fuss and attention, I love toys and treats, playing fetch with balls is my favourite. I am also good int he car and like to travel.
Training needs:
I love training! In the past someone has taught me basic commands. I know sit, paw, down and stay and come in situations without distractions (not reliable re-call). I love training and I am a very obedient dog, I pick things up very quickly as I love to please my humans. I need to continue desensitising training around dogs on walk. My handlers don't know anything about me in a home, so please be prepared to show me the rope in a house as I settle in.
My dream home:
Naturally I do need a home with space, I am a large boy and struggle in small rooms especially when I am playful and bouncy. I do need a garden of my own with high fences that are secure. I need adopters who are experienced in large or giant breed and can continue my training and teaching me manners, I am a young puppy at heart!
