RALPH – volato sul ponte

Unknown

mixed-breed dog about 2 years old. He is suffering a lot from the dog shelter, he has a lot of difficulty getting back into the box after the walks. He loves walking very much and is a very independent type. In the dog shelter we are trying, as much as possible, to satisfy his strong exploratory and investigative motivations but obviously the context does not allow it as much as he and we would like. Wonderful with dogs, with people once he is won over, he becomes very attached despite his stubbornness. In our opinion, one of his great qualities is having clear ideas about what he wants from life and what he expects from people.

Meticcio da caccia di anni 2 circa.Sta patendo tanto il canile, fa molto fatica a rientrare in box dopo le passeggiate. Ama tantissimo camminare ed è un tipo molto indipendente. In canile stiamo cercando, per quanto ci è possibile, di appagare le sue forti motivazioni esplorative e perlustrative ma ovviamente il contesto non lo permette quanto lui e noi vorremmo. Meraviglioso con i cani, con le persone una volta conquistato, si affida molto nonostante la sua caparbietà.A nostro parere una sua grande qualità è di avere le idee chiare su ciò che vuole dalla vita e ciò che si aspetta dalle persone.
