Robin – 5 month old male Whippet cross Lurcher
Robin is a cheeky 5 month old Whippet cross Lurcher puppy. He is black and smooth coated with white paws, chest flash and tail tip. Robin is lively, fun, cute, cuddly and mischievous like all pups, but this one is extra special.
The week before Christmas 2008, he and his sister were handed to a local vet, in a very poorly state. Sadly his sister didn’t survive but Robin did and we were asked to take him. He was very poorly but slowly improved and enjoyed his first Christmas with us. Robin has had some problems with his stools which have been investigated. We hope it is something he may grow out of, but he will probably need a special diet as the most likely cause is food intolerance.
He has grown from a 1.3 kg scrap to a bouncy 11 kg pup and is still growing! Ideally we need a home with someone home all day, as Robin needs to be fully house trained etc, although this is improving. He is learning to sit, lay down and will shortly be learning to walk nicely on his lead.
Robin will not be rehomed with children under 10 years. He has lived with other dogs and we will be looking for a home with an older female doggy companion, if possible. He has not yet encountered cats.
You will be signing to agree to have him neutered at approximately 6 months old. He is fully vaccinated and worm and flea treated. He will be microchipped on rehoming. We will expect you to attend puppy training classes, and keep his foster family regularly supplied with photos and updates as it will be heartbreaking to let him go.
