Ziggy

Pointer · Male · Young · 1 year

Ziggy is a loving, sensitive dog with a big heart. The beautiful Ziggy with his blue eye was given up as a puppy. Now, after half a year, he's looking for a new home. Ziggy is a loving, sensitive little dog with a big heart. Once he trusts you, he builds a very close bond and wants to be everywhere with you. He enjoys cuddles just like being close to his humans. In the morning, he's more of a morning grouch - but in the evening, he often becomes active again. Ziggy has already learned some things. He reliably obeys the commands Sit, Down and Paw inside the house. Outside, he knows Stop and Wait. After the walk, he has a fixed routine: he waits patiently in the entrance area until I take off my clothes, then he lets himself be cleaned up calmly. We use a clicker as a marker signal. In quiet surroundings, this works well, but Ziggy is often too busy with his environment outside to respond. Ziggy is happiest when he can use his nose. He enjoys food-seeking games and nose work in the house. He especially loves cooked eggs - even frozen in a Kong. After breakfast, he usually gets a beef hide, which he chews enthusiastically or plays with. Chew horns and wood are also among his absolute favorites. He then proudly carries his treasures through the apartment. On an enclosed dog field or in a securely fenced garden, Ziggy can really flourish. There, he dashes and runs with great enthusiasm - especially when it's with his human. Otherwise, he doesn't like to be alone. His challenges: Ziggy is a very insecure dog and gets overwhelmed outside easily. Even putting on the leash is difficult for him, and leaving the house often takes a lot of effort. Once he's outside, he usually won't take treats because all the impressions overwhelm him too much. New people, cars, and unfamiliar noises unsettle him. He startles easily and then pulls on the leash. That's why Ziggy needs people who understand his insecurity and are willing to work with him at his pace. Relaxing is also not easy for him yet. Often he needs the proximity and support of his person to calm down and fall asleep. What you should know: Ziggy is a curious little rascal and likes to try things out. In the past, he has already nibbled on walls and chewed on fabrics like bedding. With suitable chew items and a correspondingly secure environment, this can be well directed. He barks rarely - usually only once during playful romping. If Ziggy feels uncomfortable or feels cornered, he makes it clear. He growls to communicate his boundaries. I don't see him as aggressive, but rather as honest in his communication. His signals should definitely be respected. If he feels strongly frightened or cornered, he may snap. That's why I'm looking for people who take his body language seriously, give him security and don't push him into situations that overwhelm him. For whom Ziggy is suitable: Ziggy is looking for a quiet home with empathetic people who enjoy giving a sensitive dog safety and trust. He needs patience, understanding, and time - but he rewards his humans with an exceptionally close bond, lots of love, and gradually more self-confidence.
