Obi – young energetic dog looking for the right home
We are looking to rehome our dog Obi due to a serious family health issue. One of our children has asthma and allergies and has been hospitalised multiple times since we got Obi, so this has been an incredibly difficult but necessary decision.
Obi was born around May 2024 (we chose May 4th – Star Wars Day – which is where his name comes from). His dad is a purebred Alaskan Malamute and his mum is a Border Collie × German Shepherd.
Despite his breed mix, Obi is much smaller than people expect and is actually smaller than a typical Border Collie. We believe he may have been the runt of the litter as he was noticeably smaller than his siblings.
Obi is very energetic, playful and boisterous. He will need an active home that can provide plenty of exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. He is extremely food and treat motivated, which helps with training, but he is still young and will need continued training and consistency.
Currently Obi:
- Responds to his name
- Knows sit (around 95% of the time)
- Will usually go into his crate when asked, especially with a treat
On walks he can pull quite strongly on the lead at first, but usually settles down after around 10–15 minutes. He enjoys saying hello to people and other dogs but can be redirected.
He has not been trained off-lead in public due to a strong prey drive.
Obi is not aggressive at all, but because of his energy levels and excitement we feel he would be better suited to a home without young children or elderly owners.
Important things to know about Obi:
- Up to date with vaccinations
- Microchipped
- Not neutered
- Monthly flea and worm treatment
- Currently fed dry food
Obi eats very quickly, so we scatter feed his meals on the floor or in his crate to slow him down. Slow feeder bowls didn’t work as he tips them over, and he will chew bowls if left unattended. We also give water in smaller amounts at a time as he tends to gulp it quickly.
He is extremely food/treat motivated, which is useful for training.
Obi also has a tendency to chew or destroy items if he can access them and has damaged flooring in the past, so he will need supervision and appropriate outlets for his energy and chewing.
He may also experience separation anxiety. If left alone in another room he will often whine and cry loudly, although we are unsure whether he does this when the house is empty.
Obi loves toys but will quickly destroy soft toys, so durable toys are recommended.
Another important point is that Obi is an escape artist. Our garden has a 6ft fence which he has managed to jump, so any new home will need very secure fencing and supervision when outside. When he has escaped he usually stays nearby and is often found exploring neighbouring gardens.
At the vets he tends to be shy and nervous, but he has never shown aggression.
Grooming-wise, Obi has never been professionally groomed but is brushed regularly at home. Due to his breed mix he moults heavily and sheds a lot of fur year-round. He can sometimes sit calmly for brushing, though other times it turns into more of a quick “drive-by” brush.
We have not lived with other dogs with Obi, although he has met other dogs and generally been friendly. Because of his strong prey drive, we do not believe he would be suitable for a home with cats or small animals.
Obi is a loving and funny dog, but we want to be honest that he may not be an easy dog for an inexperienced owner. With the right person who understands energetic working-type breeds and is willing to continue training, he has lots of potential.
Because of the serious health situation in our household, we will not be able to take Obi back if the new home does not work out, so we are looking for a committed and suitable home for him.
The ideal home for Obi would:
- Have experience with energetic or working breeds
- Provide lots of exercise and mental stimulation
- Have a very secure garden
- Be prepared to continue his training and routine
If you think you may be the right home for Obi, please get in touch and tell us a bit about yourself and the home you could offer him.
Meeting Obi
Due to a family health situation involving allergies and asthma, we are unfortunately unable to have people visit our home to meet Obi.
For this reason, initial meetings will need to take place in a neutral location such as a local park, where you will be able to meet him and see how he is on a walk.
Weekend meetings are strongly preferred as it allows us to arrange childcare and focus fully on Obi during the meeting.
