Cobber

*cobber is currently trialling his new home* meet cobber the 8 month old beagle-boy! cobber was a gift from a well meaning family member after their labrador passed away but unfortunately he’s not the right breed for their lifestyle so he’s been surrendered to sarg and now cobber’s looking for a new beginning in a home that’s experienced with beagles. Cobber’s terrific with children and has had plenty of association with other dogs and gets on well with them too. He was even good with the chooks in his previous home. Cobber can be a bit aloof when you first meet him but he quickly comes around wanting pats and attention. Like all beagles, cobber enjoys his daily walks, checking out the smells of the world around him. Cobber will require a secure “beagle-proof” yard and although he knows the basics such as “sit” and “down” he would benefit from ongoing obedience training so he learns new things as well as enjoying the socialisation with other dogs. About the breed: the beagle has an even temper and gentle disposition. Described in several breed standards as "merry", they are amiable and generally neither aggressive nor timid. They enjoy company, and although they may initially be standoffish with strangers, they are easily won over. Beagles are intelligent, but as a result of being bred for the long chase are single-minded and determined, which can make them hard to train. They are generally obedient but can be difficult to recall once they have picked up a scent and are easily distracted by smells around them so shouldn’t be allowed off leash unless they’re in a safe place. Beagles are excellent with children and this is one of the reasons they have become popular family pets. Cobber would be best suited to an indoor / outdoor lifestyle with either a doggie friend for company or on his own if he won’t be left alone for long periods of time especially while he’s adjusting to his new home.
