Poor little Dexter was surrendered in to the pound today
He is totally shellshocked and so upset He wont even play with the other puppies! Thankfully he loves kids and Nicole is working on taking him out of his shell
He is gorgeous
I am sure after a few days at your house,he will start to come around.Looks like he has some Rough Collie in him. The gorgous Dexter has settled in so well here… he is such a pet… gets on great with everyone.. and follows me everywhere!!!! As I’m typing this he just jumped up on my knee for a cuddle… think he’s trying to copy the cats only thing is he is twice their size!!!!!!
He was very underwieght when Kathy picked him up from the pound but I think he’s starting to fill out a little… he certainly loves his food!!! He even tried to help Missy out with her dinner .. not advisable!! Only tried this the once though so he’s a brave little guy but certainly not stupid!!!
He’ll sit and come to me for treats … have had him off the lead in the park with Missy and Pal and he doesn’t go too far and is no problem getting back on the lead!!!
Who ever gets Dex forever shall be a very lucky person .. he’s been nothing other than an absolute delight to have and we all will miss him lots when he goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So Dexter is still with me and I am delighted he is
Still is a dote but he does have a few issues so any tips here would be appreciated…
He cries in the car… can’t figure this one as he should be used to going in the car at this stage especially as he is so young .. he’s not quite as loud as when I first collected him but still cries all the same so he must be quite stressed about it all!!
When on the lead in the park he barks a lot at my dog Pal… very much in his face, he actually annoys Pal so much that he snaps at Dex to put him in his place… and believe me it takes a lot to annoy Pal.. any of you that remember him would know this…
He has also done the same to Erics’s boyfriend’s dog Max (aka Calvin also from DID ) when she has taken them on walks together..
Both are male dogs and it seems to be when he’s on the lead!
He doesn’t seem to have any interest in meeting new dogs which I find very strange… Missy & Pal want to sniff and play with any new dogs they meet and they are not puppies… Even Decota who has only gone on 3 walks with me so far wants to meet everyone…. I just have never met a puppy that does not want to PLAY … He does play with my dogs at home though ??? Just I know how important socialising is for them and would not like him to miss out any more than he may have already..
He is Very strong for a little pup and pulls on the lead.. thought initally it was excitement and possibly not had been lead trained at all..However 3 weeks on there’s not much improvement so think puppy training class would be invalable to him.. (i have done these with mine but it’s just hard to put into practice with Dex while I’ve 3 others with me..)
So it’s not all bad.. he is very good off the lead and comes straight back to me when he is called.. while off the lead he doesn’t bother with other dogs so although I think he’s missing out by not being social he is not aggresive towards them either which I guess is good…
So as I writing he has come up to me to say hello.. He still is my little pet even with his problems… Problems that will be overcome I might add What a good looking boy
Great photos.
He certainly looks like he is thriving and all his requirements being met One lucky boy at last.
