Spike was surrendered by his family, with whom he had lived as a puppy, because they could no longer cope with him due to repeated biting incidents. Therefore, he will not be placed in a home with children. Unfortunately, this dog is a typical example of a breed bred for extreme traits and suffers from severe breathing difficulties during exertion or in warm weather. Sporting activities or long walks are therefore unsuitable for him. Spike is looking for confident and supportive people who can provide him with guidance; ideally, his new owners will have prior experience with the breed or dogs in general. Spike doesn't really need canine companionship and would prefer to be placed in a home as the only dog.
