Gillie – 7 year old male Lakeland Terrier
Gillie is a 7 year old Lakeland Terrier who is Pedigree KC registered from show lines. He is very smart, both in looks and intelligence. He has a delightful Terrier nature and is generally good with people and dogs.
He moved homes at the end of March to share his life with another Lakeland Terrier and it has been a successful homing. However, sadly Gillie can be a little syper and highly-strung. If you’ve owned a Lakeland Terrier you’ll be aware when the adrenaline flows, they can get ‘trapped’ in the moment. Gillie is excitable and certain situations leave him difficult to manage e.g. visitors; passersby and thunder storms to name a few. These situations can lead to barking and if he gets very stressed. E.g When there are fireworks he needs a planned strategy, restraint or sedation as he can bite ‘inadvertently’.
Gillie needs a Terrier family who can adore his cheekiness whilst managing the more quirky side to his nature. He needs time to settle and awareness so he isn’t judged too harshly during this settling period. Gillie and his owner will need time to negotiate new routines and relate to each others expectations. An understanding that you manage a Terrier, not train their innate nature out of them. Gillie would welcome living with another dog, particularly if they have a calming influence on his energies … so perhaps not another Terrier. Gillie will need to have respectful visiting children, but not to live with children or cats. Gillie has been neutered, vaccinated, chipped. Lovely, Lovely Gillie, rejoice in his many talents, but be there for him, guide him and protect him from his own ‘nature’ when caught up in the moment.
