Well, He's now here with me in Hertfordshire and what can i say........
Nutty as the proverbial fruitcake!
Lovely boy, not much muscle tone (give it a few weeks!). absolutely NO MANNERS, either with dogs or people. He's friendly, but just doesn't know how to interact with dogs without being a bit pushy. Quite vocal and yappy (give it a few weeks!). Has very odd back dew claws (very loose and wobbly
??), full tail, and a very lived in smelly coat.
He definitely is NOT a dog for novice owners, i would go so far as to say that he really needs to go to working spaniel owners who are used to the little 'issues' that will come up in training.
He is on the go all the time, been here since about 12.30 lunchtime and has not sat down for more than 20 seconds, he just cannot seem to switch off at all! I think that a lot of it is mental energy with no outlet, but he makes me feel knackered just looking at him.
He is cat 'interested', mine are all bolshy adults that don't mind giving nosy dogs a good swipe, BUT, if they ran, i think he would chase. Transfixed by my noisy guinea pigs, but again, he would hunt them if he could.
He also doesn't mind trying to 'snatch' food from the kids (give it another few weeks!!).
A lot of this behaviour is just down to his age and the excitement of having a big garden with 3 dogs to play with, BUT he could very easily turn into a complete nightmare if he was bored.
Anyway, pics tomorrow or the day after.
