He has lovely manners during playtime and will happily sit and wait for you to throw the ball for him.Blue has previously lived with children and could live with older, confident youngsters who can be involved in his daily care. He’s a social boy when meeting other dogs, though his enthusiasm can sometimes bubble over. With a bit of guidance during greetings, he’ll continue to learn how to keep things calm and friendly. He’s very responsive to training, which will really help support him as he continues to mature. Currently when over excited Blue will compulsively spin so his new owners will need to follow our guidance to help him break this habit as it can become quite disruptive and innapropriate.Out and about, Blue currently enjoys off-lead time in low-distraction areas and shows great recall—though like many bright and eager dogs, he’d benefit from ongoing recall training. He thrives on learning and would really enjoy daily training sessions and enrichment activities to keep his mind busy.Blue is a sociable character who enjoys meeting new people, but he also loves nothing more than exploring on his walks, taking in all the scents of the world around him. Because of his excitable nature, he would be best suited to an owner with experience of his breed, who can help him continue to develop his calmness in those big exciting moments.If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion who’s eager to learn and full of character, Blue could be the perfect match for you.The best way to stay up to date with what's going on at Blue Cross is to join our mailing list.Blue Cross is a registered charity in England and Wales (224392) and in Scotland (SC040154).
