Meet Sharkey,
He is a ten Month old Staffie Pup who is basically a big softie that loves company and attention from anyone. We have him with us 3 weeks now and he is getting on great with our dog Rosie. He loves nothing more than, after a good play in the garden, to lie at your feet and take all the cuddles you can give him. He is good on the lead but can be very exciteable when meeting other dogs and livestock (we are working on this!). He loves all types of toys, the more the merrier! He will eat any food he is given at any time of the day, always looking for more (we give him dry food twice a day). He will always try to take some of our dogs food before he has finished his own but is getting better every day. He is extremly gentle at taking treats from your hand so this will work in your favour when training. He is great with our kids and loves their cuddles. He is house trained and sleeps in his crate in the kitchen (although he always needs encouragement to go into his bed as he would rather follow you up the stairs!). Sharkey would be a great addition to any home and I have no doubt he would settle very quickly.
We have Sharkey a few more weeks now and he’s getting on great. He is much better on walks especially when meeting new dogs. Sharkey doesn’t mind going into the water anymore but is cautious not to go in too deep. Himself and our dog Rosie play all day and there are no issues with sharing food, if anything Rosie has learned to be very gentle when accepting treats from us by watching Sharkey. His recal is getting much better but still loves to have a game of chase before coming back
! He is putting on weight and building into a fine dog, here are a few pics …
I will put some more up tomorrowSorry we have not updated Sharkeys page, 2 reasons the first is we would love to keep him, but this is just not a runner. Second we have had no internet. Anyway Sharkey is flying, he and Rosey are great pals and Ollie our neighbours dog comes and says hello every day. We walk every day on the Curragh and he loves to chase a ball. His recall has gotten much better but like all Staffies, they need constant work. He meets a good few dogs whilst out on our walk and is very well behaved just a quick sniff and away he goes. He loves a big marrow bone and he and Rosey swap them all day long. He has sit and stay we are working on paw and laydown. He loves his crate and goes tru the night not a bother. On the lead he can be a bit strong but calms after a few mins and is good after that. here are few new pics
Yes thats Roseys tail in the 1st picHi folks , you know what ? This dog just gets better and better . I was feeding him his dinner tonite and I’d swear he was talking to me, he does a lovley little stretch and a chatter of his teeth along with a little cry, when you ask him to sit and stay before grub. I gave him a bath today and he hated this one?but instead of trying to jump outta the bath he sat and cried .
He has a lot of character and loads to give to his forever home ,I know that It would be a very lucky home that Sharkey settles with Me thinks this will be a sad house the day this pet leaves. URGENT – SHARKEY ESCAPED FROM HIS FOSTER HOME THIS MORNING IN NEWBRIDGE – IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA AND SEE THIS BABY PLEASE CONTACT GWEN ON 085 8158201 OT POST HERE
Any chance i could come and see Sharkey…. love this breed of dog… was out at ashton today looking at a staffie, but shes got a home..
Hi folks,
Sorry for not keeping Sharkys thread up to date , but we have had no access to the web ( lame excuse but true ) .
Anyway he is flying !!!! he and Rosie are beside me , nudging me looking for rubs. Sharks has been with us awhile as he is a very speacial dog,and I am new to fostering and want to find the very best home for him. Which I had hoped it would be here,but this can not happen tru no fault of Sharkys.
He is a dog you can’t help loveing and has come on in leaps and bounds.He is good on the lead, still loves meeting new people and other dogs, but still gets very excited for a few minutes but settles into great pals after a while. He is a rouge and loves a game of chase. Any ball game is a good game and the ball can be shared with all. Around the house he is very good he stays off the furniture and loves to lay at your feet when he settles.Rossie gives him a hard time now and then, robbing his treats and taking his ball, but he still lets her lay down in their bed with him. He is a dog who just takes the day as it comes , he likes to swim from time to time , but is happiest when chasing a ball. My young son Jack has decided that all food should be shared with the dogs ,even if its only a lick. sharky is a great all rounder with loads to give, with his ball skills and speed he might be a good dog for the likes of fly ball. I will post pics of him tomorrow
