Maggi Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Rick was one of 3 pups handed into our care. His brother & sister have now gone off to new homes. The bigger of the boys, Rick took a lot longer to come out of his shell, he is still a little wary around dogs larger than him but his confidence is growing every day.Non of these pups appeared to have had any socialisation around other dogs or people before & had never been on a lead. During their time here they have now met other dogs & are learning to play. They all love people & so far have not shown much interest in the cats. They are well behaved in the car. They are learning to play with toys now & love their food. They will need on going help with their toilet training but they are doing well with paper training. They are now fully vac'd, chipped, wormed & frontlined. They will need to be returned to our vet for neutering or proof sent if using your own vet. Rick is enjoying life to the full. He has found a new friend in oldie Ned. This new friendship has given both of them so much confidence. Rick is such a bright boy, very quick to learn. He is almost perfect off lead & wont let you out of his sight. Rick has a slight heart murmur(grade 2) but this should not stop him from leading a full & happy life. Rick is here in south Lincs.

Maggi Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Rick has almost cracked his toilet training too now. Today he was sitting & giving paws again. They are not a breed that I have had much to do with but it has been a pleasure to have Rick & his brother & sister with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
