I have very sadly received one of my puppies born in March back, due to issues with resource guarding.
He is lovely natured when he is not guarding possessions but will attack when he does have possessions. I had hoped I could correct this if it was just me he was going for, but he sadly went for my elderly dog and my 5 month old puppy when they approached him when he had a possession he was guarding. He also went for me when I tried to take the item off of him. As I say, if he was going going for me, then I could work through thus but I can't put my own dogs at risk. Had I been able to correct this, he was to go back to his owner, but as I can't correct it, due to the risk of my own dogs, his owner has asked for me to rehome him. Anyone interested in this puppy must take into account that he should not be where there are children or vulnerable animals, due to this behaviour. If you have the know how to train this out or can afford a behaviourist to correct this, he will be a lovely dog because he's so friendly apart from at those times. Whatever price he goes for will go to his past owner, not me.
His parents are fully health checked ( hips, elbows, eyes and genetics). He hasn't been neutered yet, is used to the lead and is fully vaccinated. He is KC registered. He is not to be moved on. Whatever home he goes to must be his permanent home, so please consider everything carefully before contacting me.
Please no comments about muzzling him, as this is not a long term solution, nor should he be put to sleep. This CAN be resolved with proper training.
Reasonable offers will be considered if the home us a perfect home for him.
