January 2026 – VINNIE – male, 8 mths, intact
Vinnie is a fabulous young boy who is looking for a VERY active and outdoorsy home. He’s confident, exuberant, outgoing, loves trying new things, isn’t put off by bad weather, and loves swimming in icy ponds. His original owners did a lot of really good training work with him and as a result his obedience is generally excellent and he walks nicely to heel. However he is not a dog who will ever be satisfied by lead walks and the occasional trip to a secure field – he needs daily opportunities for offlead exercise and exploring open countryside – hills, forests, beaches, whatever, but his need for lots of outdoors exercise absolutely MUST be appreciated.
He is by no means a ‘finished product’ – he is about to enter doggy puberty which will bring a whole new set of challenges, and (same as every dog) he will obviously benefit from ongoing training work, but overall he is a lovely boy just looking for leadership and guidance from a calm but firm owner who can provide structure, lots of exercise and training work (perhaps gundog training or even the possibility of taking Vinnie working on shoots) and a peaceful home environment. He is crate trained and is happy sleeping in a crate overnight, and he is currently living with several other dogs and gets on well with them.
Vinnie is currently in foster in Montrose (Scotland), he can be rehomed to anywhere in the UK, but prospective adopters should be willing to travel to meet him.
