He has been left for 3 hours on his own, no issues. Left with resident dogs 4 hours. It is very rarely he is left on his own. He has not damaged anything.

IS THE DOG AGGRESSIVE WITH FOOD? TOYS? ANY KIND OF RESOURCE GUARDING? PLEASE GIVE DETAILS. Minor guarding. He will growl if you approach to take something off him. You can call Bailey away from the item. It’s a case of don’t take ask.

HAS THE DOG EVER BITTEN ANYONE- Yes in first home. No details known.

In one week forever home - wiping paws and taking lead off. Advice given was ignored. Overstimulation and not giving Bailey space.

He is not an aggressive dog. He mouths and occasionally snaps with excitement. He used to snap when you put his lead on. Managed with “sit” and back tickles. Paw wiping after walks. Back two are not a problem. He’s far too excited when he gets back from walks (even calm lead walks). He needs to check he hasn’t missed anything. So can make a fuss about front two

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND THE DAY- Free indoors

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND THE NIGHT- He sleeps in a bed in our daughters room. She’s got a high sleeper, so he can’t get on her bed. He slept upstairs on the landing in previous home.

WHERE DOES THE DOG SPEND TIME IF LEFT ALONE IN THE HOUSE- He is left with the run of the kitchen stairs and landing. He usually sleeps on one of the steps when we are out. He has been left for four hours, no issues.

HAPPY TO SLEEP THE DAY AWAY WITH REGULAR EXERCISE. At first he will follow you everywhere. Bailey is settled and will find a comfy spot for a snooze.
