2 year old German Sherperd/husky for sale
It is with a heavy heart that the decision has been made that a forever home must be found for Rocco. He is an almost 2 year old German shepherd/huskyX (born 26th December ). Mum is a full German sherperd and Dad is full husky... however to look at Rocco he is all German shepherd! Reason for sale: due to recent relationship breakdown I am now alone with 3 children, one being a new born baby. Rocco respects his master but can be quite stubborn (not aggressive!) for anyone who he does not consider his superior. I feel I am now doing him a disservice as he is no longer being walked the way he should or receiving the attention he deserves and it's breaking my heart. Rocco must go to a home where owners have experience of dog training because although Rocco is a very affectionate loving dog but he requires some extra training and can be stubborn at times. He is completely house trained. He sleeps in a crate and for rare longer periods of being alone he is placed in his crate too. Can be left uncreated for shorter periods of time without any problems. He is not used to being left in the house alone for any longer than an hour or two. He can sit, paw, and lay down on command but his intelligence could and should be stretched much further than this. Has brilliant recall off his lead but needs lots of work on the lead. Rocco is a gentle giant with my children and he adores other dogs too. Not particularly fond of cats though. He is very protective of his home so expect lots of barking when there is a knock on the door and he can seem quite frightening to a stranger when they first enter the home... a few treats from said stranger to show they are not a threat to his pack and he soon warms to them. In terms of health, he is up to date with all injections etc. He has had some Problems maintaining weight but we have been reassured from his vet that he is healthy and there is no physical cause for this, and advised us to try upping feeds/changing food etc. Rocco is a wonderful family pet and companion. He is a gentle soft giant who loves to play, especially with other dogs. I want Rocco to go to a home where the commitment is made to work with him and give him his forever home. If you think you can give Rocco his forever home please get in touch. Read More
