Adopter Popeye
Collie · Mand · Ung · 2 år
Popeye er en 2 1/2 år gammel Collie x Greyhound. En helt fantastisk dreng. Smukke Popeye er nu klar til at finde sin evige sofa. Da Popeye kom til os, var han en frustreret energibombe. Han fik sammenbrud på spadsture og var hundereaktiv. Hans reaktivitet var og er ikke aggression; han er den blødeste dreng, man kan forestille sig. Han har dog en høj intelligens og er en travl hund, der nemt bliver kedet, hvilket kan skubbe ham over tærsklen. Popeye har brug for en fornuftig hunnesighthound, der kan tage teten. Ikke endnu en ung hun-lurcher, men en bestemt Greyhound-hun. En hun, der er mere egenrådig og vil bruge ham til sjov, når hun har lyst, men sætte ham på plads, når hun ikke har det. Da Popeye blev placeret sammen med en viljestærk hun her på kennelen, faldt han straks til ro; han tog imod den tillid, han fik, stoppede den reaktive adfærd og lod hende signalere, at der ikke var noget at bekymre sig om. Ud over god fysisk motion skal Popeye også have sin hjerne i gang. Foderberigelse og puslespil er et must. Selvom han har energien til hundesport som agility og flyball, mener vi, at det vil hæve hans følelsesmæssige tærskel og kan genaktivere gamle udløsere og ophidselse. Han ville have det langt bedre med roligere opgaveaktiviteter. Selvom Popeye er her på kennelen, er han en ren dreng. Han tisser ved enhver given lejlighed. Vi forventer ikke, at husrenhed bliver et problem. Han vil i begyndelsen have brug for et hjem med flere mennesker omkring sig for at hjælpe ham med at tilpasse sig og falde til i omgivelserne, så hans hjerne ikke flygter ud af hovedet. Popeye er IKKE katte-venlig og vil bedst passe i et hjem med børn på 10 år og derover. Selvom Popeye ligger i den høje ende af fysisk og mental kapacitet, selv efter lurcher-standarder, har han en lille tendens mod collie-siden og er ikke lige så selvstændigt tænkende, så han har brug for en ejer, der er villig til at tage teten. Når det er sagt, er han over for mennesker en vanvittig stor baby og den mest kærlige dreng, der findes. Han elsker at blive kælet med og krøller sig helt ind til dig. Med lidt tid til at modnes og fornuftig vejledning tror vi, at han vil blive en hund ud af en million. Det er så trist, at denne dreng næsten mistede livet så ung i hundefangeanstalten. Popeye er vaccineret, KC-vaccineret, afloppet, afmaset, kastreret og mikrochippet. Han vil også blive overdraget med 5 ugers gratis forsikring fra Agria. Alle, der ønsker at give Popeye et hjem, skal være villige til at rejse til Stoke-on-Trent for at møde ham sammen med alle nærmeste familiemedlemmer og eventuelle nuværende hunde i hjemmet.

Popeye is a 2 1/2 year old Collie x Greyhound. Absolutely fabulous boy. Beautiful Popeye is now ready to find his forever sofa. When Popeye landed with us he was a frustrated ball of energy. He had melt downs on walks and was dog reactive. His reactivity wasn’t and is not aggression he is the softest lad ever. However he does have high intelligence and is a busy dog who can easily become bored, pushing him over threshold. Popeye needs a sensible female sighthound to take the lead. Not another young female lurcher but a bossy female Greyhound. A female that is more self serving and will use him for fun when she feels like it but put him in his place when she doesn’t. When placed with a strong willed female here at the kennels Popeye instantly deferred, he took the confidence given, stopped the reactive behaviour and allowed her to signal that there was nothing to be worried about. Aswell as good physical excercise Popeye will also need his brain working. Food enrichment and puzzle games will be a must. Although he has the energy for dog sports such as agility and flyball we do feel these will raise his emotional threshold and may reestablish old triggers and excitement. He’d be much better with calm tasking activities. Although Popeye is here with us in kennels he is a clean boy. He toilets at every chance given. We do not envisage house training to be an issue. He will need a home with people around more in the beginning to help him adapt and settle within the environment so his brain doesn’t escape his head. Popeye is NOT cat friendly and would be best placed into a home with children 10 plus. Although Popeye is at the higher scale of physical and mental ability even by Lurcher standards he does swing a little to the collie side and isnt as much of an independent thinker so he will need an owner willing to take the lead. All that said though where humans are concerned hes a ridiculous big baby and the most loving boy going. He adores his cuddles with you and curls right in. With a little time to mature and sensible guidance we do think he will become a dog in a million. Its so sad this lad nearly lost his life at such a young age in the stray pound. Popeye is vaccinated, kc vaccinated, de flead, de wormed and is neutered and microchipped. He will also be rehomed with 5 weeks free insurance from Agria. Anyone wishing to offer Popeye a home would need to be willing to travel to meet him in Stoke-on-Trent with all immediate members of the family and any current resident dogs.
