Description
Arthur is a 5-year-old male lurcher originally rescued from a puppy farm as a young pup. He is an affectionate, intelligent and deeply bonded dog with a wonderful character. He loves routine, enjoys training, and has had extensive professional input throughout his life.
He is used to living in a home environment. He is house-trained, travels well in the car, and understands a range of commands. In many ways he is a very capable and loving companion.
Due to a difficult start in life, Arthur does have behavioural challenges and requires a very experienced, child-free home.
Arthur can become defensive in certain situations, particularly:
* When resting or drifting off to sleep
* If approached closely when settled
* Sometimes around high value treats ie bone
* In new or anxiety-provoking environments
He has, on occasion, reacted by biting. While this is uncommon it must be understood fully by new owner, there can sometimes be subtle signs (tension, whale eye), these are not always obvious. Because of this, Arthur requires careful management and an owner experienced with sensitive dogs.
He would need:
* A calm, adult-only household (no visiting children)
* Clear boundaries
* Ongoing structure and management
* Continued behavioural awareness
Please let us know if you’d like to discuss in more detail.
Thanks, Jarryd
