Emil is looking for a perfect home!

Emil (we call him Milo), came to live with us and our two dogs in November. After two months of caring for him, we can say he is a gorgeous boy who totally deserves a wonderful home. We have had over 40 foster dogs over the last 10 years, and Milo is right up there as one of our favourites. We are in no rush to rehome him, so will be looking for a really great match for him.

The perfect match – female owner, large doggy sibling/s, large contained garden, no children, no small furries, patience – he is an overgrown puppy who is still learning his boundaries.

Things to know about Milo

Breed – a mix, probably containing husky, but one that makes him incredibly beautiful! His fur is soft and his eyes look like he has had a heavy session with the kohl eye liner!

Weight – he is about 30kg, so medium to large size

Walks – he is great on walks – once you have got his lead on. He has the impression that he should be chased around the garden and house as part of the walk game. We have been working on this with him, but his new home must ensure that this is persevered with if they want to get out on a walk on time.

We don’t let him off lead other than in contained dog fields, as his recall is selective and we live in the country surrounded by sheep.

He loves long walks, lots of sniffing and definitely prefers fields to roads (which dog doesn’t).

Cats and Furry critters – definitely not! He loves to race after the squirrels in our garden and would likely do the same for cats.

Children – he currently needs a home without young children or young visitors. While he has lived with children before, he is too big and bouncy to be with little ones and will steal food and toys from them.

People – he loves everyone, but can be reactive to some men. We have no idea why, as we don’t think he has ever been mistreated. He has not bitten – it is all show and noise which is fear based. He has not shown any signs of stress around females that have spent time with him. This behaviour is unusual, but should be mentioned so that his new family are prepared to deal with it and not give up on him if he does this.

Behaviour in the House – he is fully house trained, no accidents. He will counter surf, so although he is learning that this is not acceptable, this will have to be reinforced in his new home. He is quick to learn – for example, he no longer tries to get on the couch or jump up to greet people, he just needs reminders and consistency on his remaining teenage behaviours. He can be left on his own for a couple of hours at a time, but don’t leave your favourite shoes in reach, he gets bored and finds toys!

He loves to sleep with his doggy siblings in front of the fire.

Behaviour in the garden – he loves to play with our dogs – they can get quite rough, but never hurt each other. You wouldn’t want to get knocked over in his playful games though.

He is one of the best escape artists we have met, so the garden must be very secure – he can jump 5 foot walls in one bound and is quite happy running over shed roofs to go and meet other doggy friends in neighbouring gardens.

Dog siblings – we would recommend that he has a medium/large doggy friend, although he would be OK on his own. Small dogs would find him too enthusiastic. Be prepared for him to try to assert himself as lead dog, although he has settled into second place quite quickly with our pack leader.

Training – Milo has almost finished his Bronze training with Happy Hounds. He can sit, offer a paw, wait, leave objects and is learning to be more consistent on recall. We would love his new family to take him through his silver and gold (or even retake bronze, as it is as much for the humans as the dogs). We also think he would love agility training as his energy is high.
