I am looking for 3 year old Rolo’s Forever home .

He’s a great dog and was only surrendered due to a change in circumstance .

He is currently in a foster home - Please read the fosters info below before applying .

Rolo is a STUNNING handsome English Springer Spaniel. He is very typical of the breed. Energetic, playful, bouncy. Has been in foster due to original family's change of circumstances. He appears to have no obvious behaviour issues. Apart from being somewhat strong on a lead, and shows signs of having an over keeness towards wildlfe and livestock - so would need to be leaded. To build up trust in his "selective" recall, I would strongly recommend both hiring a private enclosed field, and the use of a long line.

He has had his vaccinations restarted, and was perfect gentleman on his two visits to the vets. Even when being "shouted" at by a French Bulldog in the waiting room. He can be a little vocal in the car, but generally settles, he hops in the car absolutely fine, so I am guessing its merely excitement. It is rare if he should make a noise within the house, no barking at visitors, delivery people etc.

Has been fine with other dogs, a little overly sniffy towards them, but he leaves his foster home with the understanding he needs to be castrated in the near future, once settled into his new environment and family.

He understands basic commands (apart from "heel"!!). Can sit and stay with no distractions. Is not overly interested in retrieving type games. Loves to sniff out hidden food - I generally hide bits of hotdog sausages within upturned plastic cups. He enjoys long lasting natural treats. Sleeps within a crate. Has also been fed within a crate - due to the number of dogs I have in my care - it eliminates any possible problems with slow eaters etc.

He has lived here with Cats - but unless cats are very dog savvy, I would not recommend as he will chase given the slightest opportunity.

He requires a very secure garden, as he has been known to escape frequently from his previous home, and go wandering into other peoples gardens.

He would enjoy and active home, maybe to include agility work, man trailing, canicross, scent training and such like. Although he comes from a working background (docked tail) I see very little enthusiasm for gundog training - hes not ball focused, no real desire to retrieve, and with his prey drive he lacks little focus to the training.

He is a smashing dog, food orientated which will assist with future training and I am fairly certain he will make someone a loving companion and friend. He is excited and thrilled by affection, love and enthusiastic to what the day may hold.
