Scrappy is 5 yrs & has matured into a royal dog. He is a chunky, black and tan terrier mimicking a schnauzer but we are told his parents were Fell terriers. Scrappy has been adored by his owners and grown up with older children. He has never liked to much coming and goings..just settled within his family unit and plodding along on his walks. He in fact doesn't like children and strangers; well in my own time.
Scrappy is used to being left; loves to potter around the garden and play with his owners. He has adjusted very well in foster after losing his home when a baby was due. He would suit a childless couple who enjoy walking and gardening with a more sedate life. He doesn't like people to be too direct, others he welcomes. Scrappy is his own person and his owners will need to respect him; love him and give him time to settle. If you are touchy feely yes but once bonded but with strangers no..OH HOW VERY BRITISH Aloof yes; aware yes; loving and playful yes but on his terms. He will give the 'look' and may growl if he isn't feeling comfortable. 'RESPECT' is the word. He will obey house-rules, is housetrained; enjoys the car; meets dogs well.
Ideally we envisage him being an only pet, in a peaceful environment without demands made on him. Not the focus of attention with visitors but no doubt will come and say hello when he wants. Luvvy duvvy no only to his trusted owners and friends. Outside introductions on his terms. Just let him be and you have a solid loving and truly loyal companion. Please visit our website
