Legs like springs and a busy mind, Splash is a doer, not always a thinker... His kind nature and zest for fun, has won us all over.Like any young Sighthound, Splash is into everything and still finding his ways. He loves running around in secure areas and walks really well on lead and is being muzzle trained. Slightly unsure around other dogs, gentle introductions have started here and we would recommend this to be continued in his new home. Easily aroused as he is still young, settle work would be a huge benefit whilst settling into his new home.
