Adopt Fredi

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Fredi is a complex boy who is in need of experienced and understanding owners. As with many foreign rescues, we do not know what this sweet boy endured before he was found. He can be reactive to strangers and other dogs he doesn’t know. He has also shown resource guarding with food. He was adopted by his current family at 6 months old. Fredi has always had his challenges and they have made a big commitment to helping him cope. Initially he would lunge at people when out for a walk but they sought behaviourist advice and this had greatly improved. The family had another dog for a while, and Fredi and their dog got on well, but sadly the family’s other dog has recently died. This has taken a toll on poor Fredi. Fredi continues to struggle with dogs he doesn’t know but his family have managed to introduce him to dogs outside the house and when they become familiar he can relax with them. There are also dogs within the wider family that he plays with, especially 3 large dogs who are all female and keep Fredi “in-line” which he responds extremely well to. He walks nicely on the lead apart from when he sees another dog, and he returns from the garden when called although his recall in public spaces is not the best. Fredi loves to play with balls and spends time in the garden playing, with no signs of resource guarding. Fredi also loves to go on the running machine happily trots on it every morning. Although Fredi can more often than not be a wonderful boy, he tries to push boundaries and tries to be dominant, and his current family feel they can no longer cope. Fredi’s ideal owner would be someone who has experience with complex rescue dogs who can cope and manage his resource guarding and aggressive behaviours.
