Jimmy
Jimmy IS NOW READY TO BE REHOMED
Jimmy is a BIG dog, extremely handsome, standing about 28 inches at the shoulder. He is such a lovely boy, so kind and affectionate with everyone and he so needs a forever home.
Jimmy is a young adult Deerhound cross about 2 years old with the most superb temperament. He is slightly anxious around boisterous dogs and will growl but is relaxed and happy with steady dogs. He gets on well with little dogs, his best friend is a Yorkshire Terrier.
Jimmy has damage to the ligaments in his leg.
Jimmy is fed either Salmon and Potato or Lamb and Rice complete biscuit, he gets tuna and salmon mixed in to give him the Omega oils so has really good skin and coat condition.
This really is a super dog, a great companion and pet. Jimmy is very affectionate with everyone he meets, he is kind and gentle and an easy pet. He has been a very patient boy through all his treatment and has accepted with good grace the fact he has to have a lot of crate rest to protect his leg whilst it is healing. He doesn't suffer from separation anxiety if there is another dog in the house, he doesn't bark or howl, and he is house trained. He is an easy dog to live with and a stunningly handsome chap.
We believe Jimmy has been used as a hunting dog he is very keen when he sees a rabbit in the field or cats or sheep. Jimmy CANNOT LIVE WITH CATS (please note he is good with small dogs, he is fostered with Matt the Yorkie)
Management of this dog. The vet has advised that Jimmy is not let off the lead for long periods of running as this would put a strain on his leg. It would be beneficial to continue with Glucosamine HCL tablets available from health food stores or vets, they are not expensive but will support the joint. When being walked around urban streets he must be muzzled in case he ever came across a cat because he would kill it. The muzzle could be removed if he was in an open space, but again, he must never let off lead. Because of this door control is essential he needs a home with responsible adults who will always keep outside doors shut.
Jimmy can be let off lead in a fully fenced enclosed space as long as he doesn't run for too long.
He cannot be left alone unattended in a garden if there is any possibility he could try and climb over the fence so a garden fence of 8 foot would be needed before he could roam free. Also he could kill a cat entering the garden.
It is not necessary to continually crate Jimmy but if a crate needs to be used that is OK as long as it is a minimum of 48 inches so a big house is needed. He has been on enforced crate rest whilst he has been healing so is very relaxed and happy as long as the crate is sufficiently large to accommodate him stretching right out which is essential as he must not be forced into a small crate which would continually flex his bad leg.
We are looking for experienced, mature dog owners, with another quiet calm lurcher or greyhound type dog who will be a gentle companion for Jimmy. Jimmy has not lived with children but he has a superb nature so he can live with kind children over 10 years old, but door control is essential so responsible children needed. Big house and well fenced garden would be an advantage..
Neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped. He has had a full dental clean and polish with necessary extractions of the bed teeth.
Rehome within 100 miles radius of West Yorkshire
