Billy – 10 month old male Patterdale Terrier
Billy is a 10 month old male Patterdale Terrier.
Homing Requirement: Billy needs a terrier family to build on his tentative new skills within a new set of circumstances. He is young and has already achieved so much, but now he is a crucial age to round off his adult temperament.
His Story: Billy was discarded and taken in by a farmer at 7 months; his current family took him in to avoid a kennelled life in early April. He settled with their older crossbreed dog and elderly dog savvy cat. 2 weeks into his homing he had a terrible scare when a neighbour’s new dog came into his house and went for him and his canine partner. Since then he has lost his nerve meeting new dogs and his family have concluded he needs a family who are used to terriers to allow him to regain his confidence in a new setting whilst he is so young. Currently living the rural life with 4 adult household. Billy is neutered and vax’d
Advert: Billy is 10 months old & came to his current family and settled in with their dog and cat. He meets people well, but of course can get excited. Following an incident, he has been frightened of meeting incoming dogs, despite best efforts. He can’t seem to forget and fixates on the adjoining fence with the next-door dog. He is tolerant of viewing livestock through fencing, but would chase if let off lead. Billy walks well on the lead and is playful with incumbent dog. He is housetrained. He enjoys the car.
Billy is a wirehaired Patterdale with a tight curly coat. He is young and has the affectionate nature of the Patterdale. He needs to lose his defensiveness around other dogs which is newly acquired, but is just at his formative teenage period. In the right hands, with a new setting he can lose his apprehension.
