Rueben is an awesome boy with a few special needs. Being a double Merle ( please research) means is deaf and has poor eyesight.
Heโs got way more confident, is much less easily spooked by new things (actually isnโt really happening anymore at all), doesnโt seem to jump at cars or get scared by them anymore.
He loves pats and attention, likes to play (tug o war), and still loves his long walks (as discussed!). Very food driven, will do anything for treats! Heโs mastered the wobble kong and can empty it in a few minutes now!!Heโs learnt some tricks while heโs been here (although thinks โpawโ is the answer to everything now!!). Heโs very clever and likes to please.
He used to get scared when you went in for a pat, but almost never does that anymore - most likely a trust thing, as he did it a little bit to visitors.
.... heโs just a normal dog and is very sweet really! Just took a bit of time to settle in.
I think heโd be fine without a garden, as long as whoever it is has plenty of time to exercise him (or gets a dog walker) to keep him out of mischief.
A quiet street would be best but I think heโd get used to anywhere with time.
Heโs very smart!! Learning fast, once fully settled would be a great dog and well behaved. He needs training and patience but Iโm certain you could get there with him! He just needs a good leader.
He loves getting out for walks! Definitely his favourite part of the day! (3 walks a day at the moment so heโs loving it!!)
He is really smart and eager to learn. He loves his people and really desires to know what you want from him. So only apply if you have the time and patience to help him.
