DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. He needs a calm home - he can live with children however we have noticed for him to be settled and happy this would probably be older children who arent always running around leaving toys everywhere. He gets anxious when too much is going on and will start to pace/grumble looking for something to take and hide with it.

He hides alot under tables with things and once under there its hard to get him out - treats always work to get him to come out and drop what he has.

He is happy to be left at home - once settled in the home.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE?

He is a generally loving dog who I think needs to be a priority over say children... to bring out the best in him and for him to lead a happy life. Visiting children wouldnt necessarily be a problem he is fine with them but daily I think he would prefer a calmer home - with lots of walks.

He does bark at the door and when people enter the home but settles after a few mins and when he is told to calm down.
