Eddie was handed in to SDR back in 2022 after the owner’s realised Eddie wasn't suited to city life, living in the outskirts of London.  Eddie being a livestock guardian breed, a working dog that needs a specific environment and very experienced owners or it will not work out.  He went out on home-trial to live on a farm which very much suited him; however, during in his trial period, it became clear he would be happiest in a calm predictable home with limited unfamiliar visitors. Although the family offered him an ideal environment, his instinctive protective nature meant their lifestyle wasn't the ideal match. Eddie would thrive with experienced, patient owners who understand territorial behaviour and can support his need for confidence around new people.
