DESCRIBE THE DOGS ENERGY LEVELS AND THE AMOUNT OF EXERCISE, PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STIMULATION REQUIRED These are very strong dogs with high energy being just over 12 months old. They require lots of exercise and would benefit from more mental stimulation too. Now that we are able to take them off their leads in safe environments they love nothing better than to run and swim. Indie is always the ringleader with Morgan following at a slower pace.
DOES THE DOG HAVE ESCAPE TENDENCIES (FLIGHT RISK)? Not that we've seen. They are perfectly happy to come back (especially Morgan when there's a biscuit for him, and Indie will soon follow)
IS THE DOG VOCAL/BARKS/HOWLING? Morgan will bark at strange noises in the house, but Indie doesn't tend to.
HOW IS THE DOG WITH GROOMING, BATHING, BRUSHING? Both have been showered since we've had them, but neither have been groomed. They are very excited when the brush appears, and think it's more of a game.
HOW IS THE DOG AT THE VETS? Both were fine on our recent trip to the vets and were happy to be poked and prodded.
IS THE DOG REACTIVE TO ANYTHING? Not that we're aware of, although birds and leaves do still startle them.
PLEASE IN YOUR OWN WORDS DESCRIBE THE DOGS BEST QUALITY’S AND WHAT YOU FEEL WOULD BE THE RIGHT HOME. These are beautiful loving dogs, and overall quiet and obedient in the home. Although we've only had them a short time, we've both fallen in love with them. We wouldn't have thought about re-homing, but they're just too strong for wife to handle both whilst out walking.
DESCRIBE THE DOG'S IDEAL HOME, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY WOULD HE SUIT, AND WHERE WOULD HE BE HAPPIEST. They've settled well in our home where someone is at home all day with them. In addition to their walks, they love to run about in our enclosed back garden, but I'm sure they would appreciate somewhere with more space to really stretch their legs.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER DOG THAT HASN'T BEEN COVERED ABOVE? Both beautiful, funny, friendly dogs with plenty of character. Typical spaniels who love adventure and getting into mischief, but equally happy trying to sneak up onto furniture for lots of love and cuddling.
