Barney- Jack Russell Pup

[krazy canines]

Barney has been signed over to Animals In Need Northampton, but is with me in foster.

 

Barney is a very cute Jack Russel puppy born on 20th Jan '08. His family found him, 4 children, and 2 cats with kittens too much to cope with so took the decision to re-home him. Barney was being left for approx 6 hours a day, and when he did have company he would chase and nip and the children ( well, it was a bit like a squeaky toy!) dig the garden borders, chew the kitchen and wee when approached.

 

Ok, so now to the Barney I have found him to be. He came in on Sunday night and he was a bit worried about all the big dogs, well there are 8 of them ;-) That lasted all of about half an hour.He has chosen his best play mate already, which is a 37kg gsd x, Barney likes bouncing all over him and grabbing his ears. He has learnt who he can and cannot play with. He wee'd when ever we went to him, that has already lessened dramatically. When we first let him into the lounge with us he was trying anything to get our attention, jumping all over us and the furniture, puppy niping at hands and ears. We ignored him, and so he gave up.

He has calmed down so much in a couple of days, realising that attention is got by being quiet and gentle. He potters around with the other dogs, sunbathing in the garden. He has only had a couple of accidents, but is generally very clean. He is crate trained and will happily go for a rest in his bed, and has not made a single noise over night.

Barney will sit and come when asked, but will benefit from further training including on the lead. It would be beneficial fro him to go to puppy classes, we took him on monday and he was a good boy.

Barney is vaccinated and micorchipped but will obviously need neutering when he is old enough

I will try and add pics of this very cute little man later ( when my daughter the computer expert is home)

Enquiries for Barney need to come to me, not Animals In Need.

Donation and home check will be needed before rehoming.
