I took him home today, because I could see him being killed the next time,. I talked to the farmer, who is the closest thing to an 'owner' and he was very happy for him to leave and be fed by someone else! I can't blame him, because he never chose to have this dog and he has done his best for him anyway..
He is very friendly, very cuddly and loves people! As most hunting dogs, not a agressive bone in his body! I checked him over, looked at his teeth, moved his sore leg, carried him into the car and had him on a lead with no problems at all. He has been fine today with all my animals, even in the goat/sheep paddock, around the chickens and with my own dog. As a former professional dog trainer, I can tell already he would make a lovely pet for someone! I will keep him for a while, have him castrated, wormed, chipped and vaccinated and teach him some basic commands, but I would prefer not to keep him, since I am in the process of selling my house and have a lot of animals to care for already.
Who is going to give this lovely little hunting dog a forever home? I would be available for advice/training and look after him during holidays if needed!
