Marley

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Hello, I am Marley. First of all, I would like to inform you that if you are interested in me, you should have a lot of dog experience. Just having a nice dog for 15 years is unfortunately not enough for me. It would be best if you already have experience with retrievers. Once I trust you, I am a great dog and will do everything you want. I already master the basic commands very well. However, we need to work together a lot because I tend to want to control everything. If I think the visitor shouldn't come in, I won't let them in. Therefore, I need clear rules and a place where I can't control anything. I challenge my people quite a bit, so they need to be very secure in handling me, so I can trust them to lead. I can stay alone, but only after I have settled in with you. This can also take a bit longer, depending on how quickly we become a team and I can trust you. I am generally compatible with other dogs, but it depends on their liking. I sometimes pressure the girls quite a bit... so I now have a castration chip to bring my hormones back into balance. So far, this is working very well.

Hallo, ich bin Marley. zunächst mal, möchte ich Dir mitteilen, dass Du, falls Du Interesse an mir hast, über viel Hundeerfahrung verfügen solltest. Nur mal 15 Jahre lang einen netten Hund gehabt, reicht bei mir leider nicht. Am besten wäre es, wenn Du bereits Erfahrung mit Hütehunden hast. Habe ich erstmal Vertrauen zu Dir, bin ich ein toller Hund und mache alles, was Du möchtest. Die Grundkommandos beherrsche ich bereits sehr gut. Bis dahin müssen wir aber viel zusammen arbeiten, denn ich neige dazu, alles kontrollieren zu wollen. Wenn ich meine, der Besuch kommt nicht rein, dann lasse ich ihn auch nicht rein. Daher brauche ich ganz klare Regeln und einen festen Platz, an dem ich nichts kontrollieren kann. Ich fordere meine Menschen ganz schön, diese müssen daher sehr sicher im Umgang mit mir sein, damit ich ihnen die Führung überlasse. Alleine bleiben kann ich, aber erst, wenn ich mich bei Dir eingelebt habe. Dies kann auch etwas länger dauern, je nach dem wie schnell wir ein Team werden und ich Dir Vertrauen kann. Mit anderen Hunden bin ich eigentlich verträglich, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie. Die Mädels bedränge ich manchmal etwas sehr.... daher habe ich jetzt so einen Kastrationschip bekommen, der soll meine Hormone erstmal wieder ins Gleichgewicht bringen. Bisher klappt dies sehr gut.
