Shadow is an intact 4.9 year old miniature Schnauzer with prick ears. He's healthy, house trained and isn't destructive. Schnauzers don't moult, so he needs a full groom every 8 weeks or half groom every 4 weeks. He's good at the groomers and happy to stand in the bath and be washed at home.
He's very sociable and loves everyone. He's a great little character and really good company. He's eager to please, happy to potter around with you or go and nap when you're being boring. A good morning walk and he's happy to snooze away most of the day. I currently work at home so he's used to having someone around.
Likes: cuddles, tug of war, playing chase with humans or dogs, any dog with poodle in it, greyhounds (especially the spicy ones), playing ball in the garden, company, naps, scent marking outside, a jumper when it's chilly, consistency, confusing big dogs by standing up and hugging them like small dogs do to each other
Dislikes: Fireworks (a tight jumper and a cuddle with the curtains closed helps), Nutribullets (will hide under the bed, no amount of explaining will help him understand why the kitchen is suddenly being so aggressive!), planes (he's learning to accept their existence and just watch them leave, occasionally he tells them to hurry up), playing ball in the park (too many more interesting things to do),
In the house:
Is quiet and well behaved.
Has toys and isn't destructive.
Has a bed downstairs for when he's feeling sociable and another upstairs for when he's feeling like some quiet time.
He's trained to ring a hanging bell when he needs to be let out into the garden.
He knows different rules for different people/houses. He's not allowed on the furniture anywhere. But if I sit on the sofa and put a blanket on my lap, he knows that he might be invited up onto my lap for a cuddle.
He's not reactive or resource guarding and you can take food or toys off him easily. He can be handled all over. Will patiently have his ears, feet and mouth examined.
Out of the house:
He walks nicely on the lead, if you point out that you're the boss.
He is walked off the lead in the park and has good recall...with two exceptions- 1) We have an agreement where he gets a reasonable amount of butt sniffing and dog chat time before it's polite to come back when I'm walking off. But it's always the same amount of time. 2) He is very particular about where he poos and if he's in very close range of the absolute ideal spot but can't quite find it, he'll completely ignore me. But none of us are great at paying attention when we desperately need the loo are we!
He's clever and can learn what you want to teach him with two limitations- 1) He has absolutely no fear, sense of danger or recognition of cars in any way. They simply don't exist in his brain except to get into to go somewhere exciting. No road sense at all. Apparently this is common in schnauzers. 2) If you walk out of sight while he's greeting a dog (as described above when he's using 100% of his attention on the dog) he won't know where you are because you're not within sight. Easily solved by staying in line of sight and/or clapping loudly twice to tell him where you are now. Only happens during greeting dogs because he's totally focussed on them and not anything else.
Other dogs:
He likes other dogs and is pretty sociable. he's not aggressive at all. If a dog jumps on him and tries to fight, he gets himself out of it and then stands there looking confused before walking away. He doesn't understand why everyone isn't just friendly. He responds well to other dogs snapping and doesn't retaliate.
Likes dogs of all sizes and is totally comfortable with larger breeds. His good friends are an Alsatian, some greyhounds, a kelpie, a husky, some collies, a chihuahua and several somethingdoodles.
Cats and other animals:
He's fine with cats in the house. He hasn't lived with a cat but we had one stay for a while and after the initial curiosity wore off and he was hissed at a few times, he settled down and let the cat do it's own thing. Outside is another matter. He will chase them outside if they run but he's never been biffed and scratched by one so as soon as that happens he'll leave them alone. He could be trained out of it with consistency. He was trained to stop chasing ducks and squirrels etc in the park...but the dog walker didn't continue that so he does usher ducks tidily back into the water and chases squirrels. Again, with consistency he could be trained back out of it.
Children:
He's good with kids and has been around a lot of them. Not particularly interested in them and mostly ignores them (especially the squeaky ones) but will be petted and doesn't nip or snap. Can be called away very easily. He doesn't lick faces.
Issues:
Sometimes when a dog is looking for a new home it's because there are issues and the people aren't disclosing them. In this case Shadow is an ideal dog for someone who wants a gentle companion. He really is a lovely boy and the issues here are all mine. Unfortunately several of my life circumstances have changed drastically lately including chronic ill health and it means that I can't give him the love, time and attention he deserves. I love him too much to give him half measures and want to offer him the opportunity of a much happier life with another family. I have been honest in the description of him and am not hiding anything.
