We were made aware of King being in a council pound. He looked so sad and had the sorest eyes we had ever seen, so we made the decision to help him and bring him to SSR.
King is currently in kennels. King is attending weekly classes after doing two weeks residential after Christmas. King's weekly classes are working around other dogs and progressing his training, any new home for King would need to commit to further training with our support.
King is the most goofiest and friendliest boy, he loves his humans! He loves belly rubs and a good scratch. King is a massive foodie, he is always looking for a biscuit, which helps with his training! King knows all his basic commands and is very engaged with you. King doesn't show much interest in toys in kennels, but during kennel breaks he loves playing especially a squeaky pig! In the kennels he enjoys chews, kongs and snuffle mats. King also has a crate in his kennels with his bed and blankets, which he loves and happily takes himself in there.
Whilst on kennel breaks King has always been clean in the house, he looves snoozing on the couch with you to and getting belly rubs. King has been in kennels for a long time so would somebody being around and building up his time left, as we are not sure what he will be like being left.
King is in good heath, when he came to SSR he had really sore eyes - he had double entropion which needed surgery. King had this surgery back in 2023 and has recovered really well, King will need no further surgeries.
King walks well on his lead, although is a strong boy. King isn't a dog who is ever going to walk miles, he is lazy! He enjoys his walks and loves going to secure fields, he always zooms about and enjoys a good sniff! King is dog reactive and although we are working on this, King would suit quieter areas to walk with an experinced handler. King also does not walk in the rain, as soon as the rain comes he his heading back to his kennel! typical staffie!
King is great in the car, he sometimes needs a little encouragement to get in but he is not bother in the car. King is quiet in the car and mostly takes it as an opportunity for a snooze, he usually wears a seatbelt in the back.
