Claude

CLICK HERE FOR OUR PRE-ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE

Claude came to SDR as a stray. On the whole he has settled in well to his new routine here and is always pleased to see one of the dog carers.

Owner experience - Claude will benefit from owners that are used to having a large, and sometimes boisterous dog around. He is going to need understanding owners that have plenty of time to help Claude learn new and to us, everyday experiences.

Personality with People - Claude is basically a very big puppy. He has met various staff members and volunteers whilst here. He can be a little shy to start when meeting someone new, and the best way to meet Claude is outside and with him off the lead so he can decide when he wants to come over and get to know you. Claude could live with children 16 years and over, this is because he can sometimes forget how big he is and get a little too excited when playing.

Personality with Dogs - Whilst here Claude has met some of the other residents. He is quite intense when meeting them and due to his size they can find him intimidating. Although Claude was a little full on, he was on the whole well mannered. We have discovered that he can be a little possessive and he did growl when there was a toy on the floor. With this in mind Claude is best suited to being the only dog in the home.

Training & Exercise - When out & about Claude walks quite well on the lead, he does pull somewhat but is not worried by passing traffic. He will need new owners that are capable of walking a dog of his size. Claude is not particularly fazed by passing dogs as long as they are respectful of him and show no aggression toward him.  (He will react if a dog barks at him, this soon passes once the other dog has gone). Claude seems to have very little training so this will also need to be addressed by his new family.

Time alone - 1 - 4 Hours, this will need building up over time. Claude can whine a little when first left.

Claude's new home & family - Claude is looking for a home with a good sized garden or better still someone with a farm. Claude loves being outside, and spending most of his day in the open air would be a joy for him. His new family will definitely need to be active, as mentioned he is an active dog who loves the great outdoors.

Minimum fence height will need to be 6ft and secure.

Number of visits required before adoption - Claude will require a minimum of 2 visits from everyone in the household.

The adoption fee for charismatic Claude is £250.00
