well what can I say about Baxter??? After all the dogs I have owned, minded and fostered over the years, I can honestly say that this dog is one in a million. He has THE nicest temperment I have ever come across. Considering what he must have been through to eventually end up in the pound, he is such a happy happy boy. Words fail me when I think that he once belonged to someone and they let him go, if he were mine, I would never let him out of my sight and would have micochipped him at least twice!! Well, their loss, their big loss, because this dog is a true diamond.
Baxter appears to be a Newfoundland cross but he will never be as big as one, he has inherited the fluffy black double coat and the gentleness of a Newfoundland but the face is more like a Spitz. I would estimate him to be about 8 months now and the size of a small collie. Looking at his paws, he will not grow to be a very large dog at all.
He is good on the lead, in the car, with my other dogs and cat and amazing with my kids. He is not greedy and reponds well to instructions though will need to be taught most basic commands. He seems really easy to train and after 2 days, he will stay and give the paw.
All Baxter wants is to be loved, he is so affectionate and eager to please and will be a truly be a mans best friend for life for whoever is lucky enough to make this baby part of their family.
He deserves a second chance because this dog is a true beaut.image.jpgI met this fantastic guy on Saturday and everything Sinead said about him is so true.
He is the best boy I have met in a long time. I would keep him in a heartbeat. He is such a good all rounder and wherever he was he was not looked after well. His coat was matted and cut off in chunks and has brown tinges to it from being outside.
I am glad he was not reclaimed as he deserves so much better.
Looking forward to seeing him in a couple of week after all the tlc from Sinead , Paddy and family.A close up of Baxters’ coat……he has a waterproof double coat like a Newfoundland that should never be shaved. As you can see, some eejit hacked it off with a razor and this poor baby is is left having a very bad hair day…. Makes me love him even mire though.
However, it is starting to grow back and with the right food and nutrients, he will return to his former glory in no time. His tail is truly magnificent though and gives a sneak preview of what he will look like in a few monthsimage.jpgGreat to see Baxter looking so well
and enjoying his walks with Bonnie. Such a gorgeous pupster <3 xxx
