Giles

GILES' ADOPTION IS NOW BEING FINALISED. NO MORE ENQUIRIES PLEASE.

Meet Giles, our newest addition to Midcoast Dog Rescue. He is a 6 month old Cavoodle puppy, ready for his new home.
Giles came to us with his 4 brothers and 2 sisters - they all will be up for adoption in the coming weeks. Everyone knows the Cavoodle breed now, they have been extremely popular for many years - a mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Poodle.
The Cavoodle is a lively and very affectionate companion - they enjoy being part of the family unit and love to participate in the activities of the day. Cavoodles have a very gentle nature and can make wonderful companions for children. They can be quite vocal and can bark when visitors arrive, like most dogs! However, they are not aggressive. The Cavoodle is an intelligent dog that thrives with regular training and human interaction. They are not suited to being left alone at home for long periods during the day. They need daily walks, regular trips to your local dog park (if you have one) which will keep your Cavoodle's energy levels under control. They should enjoy socialising with other dogs and are easily trained.
Cavoodles usually do not shed and are often recommended for allergic people. Their coats do take a great deal of care though, generally requiring professional grooming (every 6 weeks) as well as regular combing and brushing at home. Their ears need frequent cleaning or they may become infected, daily teeth brushing is recommended, but not every dog tolerates it unless commenced at a very early age. Eyes also need special attention and cleaning to prevent a build-up eye discharge and tear staining.
If you want to own a Cavoodle, you need to be prepared for all the extra chores and expenses that come along with the responsibility of owning a pet.
Giles will require, good, secure fencing and gates, (preferably colourbond) to keep him safe and secure. This breed is highly sought after still, and thefts are not uncommon.
Giles comes de-sexed, fully vaccinated, wormed with heartworm yearly protection (RR12 Proheart.)
Giles will make a wonderful family pet, he would definitely benefit from some professional dog training. It should be remembered that a dog is a pet for life - you need to be prepared to love and care for him for the next 12-14 years of his life. Giles will need some walking on lead training and general recall training. We are endeavouring to start his training as soon as the weather is dry again.
