Zephyr

Zephyr is a gorgeous, gentle and affectionate 3 year old trailhound, with bundles of energy and lots of love to give. He is toilet trained, and responds well to basic commands like sit and wait. His recall is generally good, unless he sees or smells another dog he wants to play with, so when we walk him in areas with other dogs, we keep him on a long lead. He is extremely well socialised and plays beautifully with any dogs he meets – he has no aggressive tendencies at all. He is good with children and plays well with our cat too.

We adore Zephyr, but we are looking for a new home for him because it’s become increasingly clear that he needs to be in an environment with one, or more, companion dogs, and with fewer people. Although he loves people, and children in particular, he gets very anxious when anyone leaves the house, and so would be better suited to a quiet house without children where he can have a more settled routine. He does not cope well with being left alone, in the house or the car, and will howl and pace until someone returns. However, when left with another dog he will settle down and wait fairly calmly. He is at his happiest when he is racing around outside with a doggy friend and we know that once he finds a home where he can do this every day he will be so much more settled and will make someone the most wonderful pet.
