Adopt Dutch

Male · Adult · 6 years

Dutch is quite a large dog, but he has a sensitive heart. He's generally very friendly and affectionate with people, but only once trust has been established. Otherwise, he initially defends himself by barking, masking his fear. If you get too close, he can snap out of fear, which is why a long getting-to-know-you period is important for him. A major issue for him will always be his panic attacks when someone raises their voice, which immediately breaks his trust. Therefore, Dutch shouldn't go to a home with children. So far, we've observed that Dutch gets along well with female dogs and accepts male dogs in the adjacent enclosures. We don't yet allow him to interact with other dogs on a leash outside. Please feel free to contact us by phone beforehand if you're interested in Dutch, so that our dog care staff can explain more details about his temperament and needs.

Dutch ist zwar ein ziemlich großer Hund, allerdings mit einem sensiblen Herzchen. An sich ist er sehr freundlich und lieb mit Menschen, aber erst wenn das Vertrauen aufgebaut worden ist. Ansonsten wehrt er sich zunächst mit Bellen, sodass er dahinter seine Angst versteckt. Kommt man ihm dennoch zu nah, kann er auch angst auch schnappen, weswegen eine lange Kennenlernphase für ihn wichtig ist. Was für ihn immer ein großes Problem bleiben wird ist, das er Panik bekommt, wenn eine Person laut wird und hier dann auch das Vertrauen sofort abgebrochen wird. Deswegen sollte Dutch auch nicht in einen Haushalt mit Kindern kommen.Bisher konnten wir feststellen das Dutch mit Weibchen gut zurecht kommt und Rüden in den Nebengehegen auch akzeptiert. Draußen an der Leine lassen wir ihn noch nicht mit anderen Hunden zusammen.Melden Sie sich gerne telefonisch vorab bei uns, falls Sie Interesse an Dutch haben, damit die Mitarbeiter aus der Hundepflege Ihnen noch genauere Details zum Wesen und seinen Bedürfnissen erläutern können.
