Adopt Norman

Saluki · Nieznane · Szczęszyk · 12 miesiące

Norman's op on his malformed teeth and jaw seems to have healed up OK, so I'm tentatively putting him up for rehoming again, but he will need quite a special home as he's a very "special" boy ********************************************************************** Most of these original points still apply to him...he's not as "nippy" as he was, which may have been due to discomfort in his jaw BUT he is like a child with ADHD and needs someone who understands Saluki temperament. Norman came to us as an owner surrender at 11 weeks old because the very young child in the home wouldn't leave him alone and the pup was starting to nip with his VERY sharp teeth. He is NOT a cute puppy, he is a Land Shark at the moment and is already showing signs of Saluki "attitude" ie the " what's in it for me?" frame of mind. His breeding is Saluki x Greyhound X Saluki, so he is a Longdog rather than a Lurcher with all hound breeding. There's no Border Collie or anything to make him "biddable" and anxious to please However, for people who are used to this type of breeding, he's a completely typical Saluki x pup He races around like a hoolie, jumping on and off the furniture and grabbing whatever he can in his mouth en route - sometimes your leg, sometimes the tv remote, cushions, often lots of toys. He is being crated with us as the other dogs would kill him, and he's taken to it very well. He lets me know when he needs a toilet break and, so far, has been completely clean in the house. He is VERY Yappy and "answers back" when you tell him to be quiet He's a dark sable colour with white points. He has the typical Saluki "Roman nose" when seen in profile. He had his vaccinations, he is microchipped and has been wormed. He is used to wearing a harness and lead,and goes on proper (short) walks now HE HAS NOT BEEN OFF LEAD OUT IN PUBLIC PLACES. He's met our cat and is thoroughly confused by her - no malice, just " can I play with that too?" But I think he'd probably chase any he met "loose" in the garden etc. I am going to say he cannot be rehomed with young children because of the nipping and the speed of his fly pasts (trying to grab him is like trying to get hold of an eel) and he would probably benefit from one or two steady older dogs to show him the ropes and keep him grounded. He needs a SECURE garden as he will probably just keep running if he escapes from anywhere! He cannot be rehomed to anyone who is out at work all day...he IS house trained as he's had to be crated post op, but he gets bored very easily and can be very noisy if you don't immediately see what he wants. He's also started ripping up his soft beds and any stuffed toys soon become clouds . Because of the work done on his jaw, insurance could be difficult as some places may say a straight No, some might say OK but not his teeth...who knows...it will need to be looked at carefully. Norman is currently in West Yorkshire, If you're interested in rehoming him please fill in our pre-adoption questionnaire :
