Tom is a gorgeous boy, who has sadly already been passed about a few times in his short life, so needs a committed family who are going to be willing to exercise and train him.
Tom is still a baby and has so much more to learn about the world. He does not appear to have had much training so needs to learn his manners to stop him jumping up, pulling on the lead and building his confidence.
We have started training Tom to wear a halti on his walks, because he is strong and will pull. Out on his walks, he loves meeting other dogs but can get frustrated when he cannot meet them, so learning some basic focus on his handler will greatly benefit him.
Tom is a playful boy. He loves his toys and will happily play fetch until he tires you out, he has shown no issues around food or toys.
Being a young lively dog, Tom is looking for an active home who will take him out on lots of adventures no matter what the weather. Out on walks, Tom can sometimes be a little nervous, or unsure of things at first, but he soon recovers and with some socialising and exposure, we think he will be a nice resilient dog.
Tom could definitely share his home with a canine pal with successful introductions. Any existing dogs would need to already be neutered and would need to be a similar size, none reactive and playful because all he wants to do is play.
Children would need to be teens or older and Tom will need his own secure garden.
