  1. Basset Hound Rehoming Help Needed

    in Animal Chat

    Posted

    I might know a rescue that can help, they tend to rehome to agility/flyball peeps (although he may not be able to do those, the owners will be experienced dog people!). I'll get back to you.

     

    Thankyou so much!!! He is definitely up for working in terms of tracking and nosework if that helps?

    Sending you lots of good thoughts Gooster :GroupHug: Even though I knew my gran dying was the best thing to give her peace (and her dementia stole her years ago) it was incredibly emotional. Remember we're here for you if you need us :flowers:

     

     

    :santa: I was all ready to wrap about half my pressies including SS last night, and then realised I've managed to use up every single scrap of wrapping paper including the bits I save to use on the dog presents :ohmy: Will have to buy more today!

    Back from the vets with Finn - we think his back and spine are playing up again so he's in more discomfort which combined with the cold has just set it all off :( poor lad is to stay wrapped up warm, get massage and stretching exercises and a dose of his usual remedy with some metacalm as a backup. Most likely there is some disc degeneration and protrusion but not much point running more tests at the moment. Hopefully he'll be back to his usual self soon.

     

     

    RMjigsawFL: I have finished a 1000 piece panorama from Lord of the Rings and now doing a penguins in the snow one again - sent me mad last time though because it only has two shapes of pieces so you have to go almost entirely by colour and shading :wacko:

    It seems to be trait in breed rescues that they will not consider a dog that has nipped/bitten regardless of the reason. It;s a funny way to show that you care about your breed.

     

    I hope that you can find somewhere for this dog.

     

    me too *fingers crossed* It was when he said that they have destroyed 6 hounds with similar issues that it became clear that they see resource guarding as unworkable and because the dog *might* bite a child therefore cannot risk the reputation of the rescue so advise PTS. I've already had to give advice that contributed to a dog being put to sleep earlier this year, I'll be damned if its going to happen again :angry:

    I am sad. Sad that so many of the 'breed' rescues advise being firm and leader of the pack with your dog, that all of these breeds require different methods, that one has told me bluntly that society and its preference for treats and positive methods makes it difficult to find the right people for these dogs.

    And sad that there is a refusal to take on or help home a dog who has nipped - not bitten but nipped in the past. The family will keep him as long as they can, and I will tell them that the rescue can't help. What I won't tell them is the advice to have this lovely 2 year old dog put to sleep. Or that its their fault for not being firm enough with the dog.

    Hello all - a quick post as I am looking for any rescues who may be able to help with the rehoming of a Basset Hound who has some resource guarding issues. I have contacted Basset Welfare but unfortunately they are not able to help.

     

    This is a very smart dog, 2 years old and keen to work at anything! He has benefited and improved with a good training programme but the family is unable to continue the work. Situation is not urgent as they will keep him as long as necessary but we do need to look for alternatives.

     

    thanks very much
