Rehomed- Harry the Border Collie
Harry is Pure Breed Broder Collie that is very loving, devoted, and enjoys life.He's male, neutered and he's 2 year and 5 months old
Harry was born in Leeston -- just up the road ! This family have had Harry since he's been a puppy. He's grown up with 2 cats but the cats rule the roost.
Harry has been brought up with two children and has been around many dogs.
REASON for looking for a new home: The family is moving soon. They have two children and feel that Harry is always on watch as their special needs child can sometimes talk too loudly or with a high pitched voice which they feel hinders Harry.
Harry is just a great dog looking for a home that is a lilttle quieter, has time to walk Harry and give him some time to play ball with. You couldn't ask for a better dog!
HARRY HAS BEEN REHOMED
Good bits about Harry
* He is sweet and loving nature dog.
* He loves his ducky and running off the lead to chase the bunnies and the balls...
* Harry enjoys being in the same room as his humans but can stay inside the house while you are at work.
* Harry enjoys walks and wants to be in front of you.
* He does NOT bark! Or very very rarely. You'll have happy neighbours!
* He likes people saying hello but needs to be right there with you. He doesn't jump on people and if he does, a quick OFF command is all he needs
* His commands are 'go to your mat', sit', 'stay', and his recall is superb. He is very quick to learn.
* He sleeps in his crate which makes him a great dog to bring to your friends.
______________
He finds difficult:
* Harry can’t travel for long periods due to car sickness and being in the small space. (this may change with a change in family and circumstance... )
* When there is too much noise in the house (he is presently living in a house with a special needs child)
* Harry has to be in front of us when walking and doesn’t like us separated (a real herding dog)
* He doesn’t like bikes, scooters, balloons , rugby games or parties (this can gradually be introduced to Harry with a new family)
* The cats target his bed and he feels overwhelmed (poor Harry...)
