ALI DOG

Pointer · Male · Adult · 5 years

(pound / Unknown Past) ALI DOG is a young dog, nearly 4 years old, rather independent, very playful, and full of energy. He is an endearing little guy but enjoys his peace and quiet. He will need a family without children and people who are willing to spend time with our gentle ALI. He has very good basic training, which should be continued with kindness and consistency. He shows resource guarding behavior regarding his food and when he digs holes. In fact, ALI digs when he gets bored, and clearly the shelter bores him and doesn't stimulate him enough. He loves going for walks, smelling all sorts of new scents, and swimming. However, he cannot live with other dogs; he tolerates them on walks but does not get along with them at all. He does not get along with cats. ALI can live in a house but is not sure of it, so he could very well live outside the house with an appropriate shelter. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

FR·Show original

(Fourrière / Passé inconnu) ALI DOG est un jeune chien de bientôt 4 ans, plutôt indépendant, très joueur et dynamique. C'est un loulou attachant mais qui aime sa tranquillité. Il aura besoin d'une famille sans enfant et de personnes qui auront la volonté de prendre du temps avec notre gentil ALI. Il a de très bonnes bases d'éducation, qui seront à poursuivre avec gentillesse et cohérence. Il fait de la protection de ressources concernant sa nourriture et lorsqu'il creuse des trous. D'ailleurs ALI creuse quand il s'ennuie, et clairement le refuge l'ennuie et ne le stimule pas assez. Il adore se promener, sentir plein de nouvelles odeurs et se baigner. Il ne pourra pas vivre avec d'autres chiens, cependant il les tolère en balade. Il ne s'entend pas du tout avec les chats. ALI pourra vivre en maison, mais pas sûr qu'il connaisse, de ce fait, il pourra très bien vivre à l'extérieur de la maison avec une niche adaptée.
