About Nelson
Are you looking for a dog that will love and adore you? Someone who will come running to you when you get home from work? To greet you with a smile and an affectionate leg rub?
Nelson just adores his people. He will come running to greet you with an excited bark and a smile - his aim to get a pat on the head and an affectionate rub.
Are you looking for someone to sit next to you while you work? Or to play fetch while you hang up the washing? Nelson loves his ball. He will carry it around with him. Drop it at your feet, or if you're not available, he'll drop it down the stairs and chase it himself, or toss it a little himself so he can catch it. He will jump for a ball and is quite impressive with his aerial abilities (see videos attached).
He also loves his people. He is very well behaved in the house and is happy to just be near you, while you do other things.
Nelson loves other dogs and we don't believe he would be happy as an only dog. He is fostered with 3 other dogs and gets along beautifully with them. He has jumped fences to get to other dogs to play in the past, when in a foster home as an only dog. However, he's not a fan of small dogs or cats and would be best in a home without them.
He is a little strong on the lead to begin with, but soon settles into his walk. With a halti or harness he will walk to heel once he settles in.
He would love people of his own, who he could adore and play with. He knows his basic commands - has an excellent sit and wait, sits for his dinner and waits for his turn to eat. Once he settles in, his recall is excellent and he knows 'go to bed.' He responds to hand signals most of the time, other than come.
Due to his age, his adoption fee is negotiable.
If you are looking for an adoring companion and can continue with his training and love him back, please consider Nelson
