Blake - 8 year old male Rhodesian Ridgeback Cross

Blake is 8 years young - going on 3 years I reckon! He is a male Rhodesian Ridgeback cross who has lived with a family for 4 years, prior to that he had 3 homes - all forces families I believe, so presumably postings abroad caused him to be moved on. The owner is stationed in Qatar now, his wife living with her parents. She can’t cope with him, plus her dad won’t have dogs in the house, so for 5 months he has lived in the garden and been very unhappy.


Blake is house-trained, good with children and other dogs, though can be a bit bolshy if on a lead. He likes to chase cats, squirrels & pigs! Blake is a bit of a hunter, so care needs to be taken when he is let off lead. Training classes to work on his recall, with distractions present, are strongly recommended.


His owner described him as; cheeky, comical and lots of fun, very, very intelligent with a gentle nature and loves running, walking , swimming and playing with other dogs. He is a fabulous dog and will be a wonderful addition to a family. He will need 6 ft fencing, as, during his exclusion from the family, he did try and find company and would probably have a wonderful time chasing things if he escaped from home.
Blake is a delight to live with: he is clean, quiet, non destructive, affectionate and playful. He is everyone’s friend, welcomes all the new dogs in and shows them around.
