Samson (On Trial 29/3/13)

Samson is a 12 month old dachshund x. He is a happy and playful puppy with lots of energy. He loves to go for walks and runs and loves to be around people. He is well behaved on a lead and doesn't react to other dogs barking. He has been friendly with all of the dogs he's met so far.

Samson loves to play fetch with anything he can get his mouth around. He was really good with a little girl at the park however in the back yard he can get a bit jumpy so any children in the family should be older than around 8 years old so that they are old enough to understand to be gentle with a dog.

Samson knows basic commands like sit and come. He will need some work on housetraining in his forever home. We always recommend dog training classes to teach your new family member some basic skills and bond with you. And of course all dogs need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.

Samson can entertain himself through the day by exploring the back yard and playing with chew toys. When people come home in the afternoon he should be allowed inside with the family. He doesn't like to be left outside in the dark so he must be allowed to come in at dusk and sleep inside.

More than anything else, Samson loves to be close to people giving him cuddles and belly rubs. He is a gorgeous dog and would fit in very easily to an active, loving home.
