Barnie is a real gent of a dog, who would slot in as a family dog perfectly. With so many positive attributes, we can't believe he hasn't been snapped up yet. Although 8 years old he is the perfect mix of fun of fun around the house, but with sensible energy levels which would blend perfectly in a youthful household..
In foster Barnie has lived with children of 11 & 13, he actively enjoys their company and will come and snuggle with them for fuss and will initiate play by bringing his toys. He plays well with children and won't tug toys and will drop them to be thrown and on command. We will place Barnie with children over 10 as he has blended so well in the foster family and the children's ages who live there.
Barnie has lived with dogs previously in the home. He lived with two bi***es, the first when she passed away was replaced with a puppy. He doesn't look for canine company when out and about. Mixing with dogs doesn't come naturally to Barnie, but history does suggest with careful introductions it is possible, with bi***es. We feel a dog free home is the best for Barnie based on what we have been able to test within the foster environment, but we wouldn't write off his ability to mix with dogs from the wider family, if adopters were happy to spend time and give patience to introductions that didn't make Barnie feel nervous or overwhelmed or fearful. It may take multiple meetings with dogs in the family for Barnie to feel comfortable before welcoming them into his home and his own personal space.
Barnie hasn't lived with cats in foster, but lived with them previously. He would be happy to live with cats who have lived with dogs previously. He chased a cat in the garden in foster, so the cat would do well to be confident around dogs.
Barnie enjoys a ball and toys, he plays with humans and loves interacting with toys with them within the garden. He isn't hugely motivated by food so toys and balls may be a better reward whilst training and bonding with Barnie.
Barnie doesn't really like to be left much at all. His foster has been working on crate training, it is early days but it is showing signs of promise. If an adopter could continue Bernie's crate training and build him up slowly once he is settled in his new home, he may be happy to be left for short periods of time. Ideally Barnie would thrive in a household where people are around a lot of the time and he knows someone is around. Barnie would be flexible to either a young adult home, where teenagers would be around the house and he could have a number of younger humans to settled around, or a retirement type home where there is someone home often who would welcome Barnie into all aspects of their social life!
Barnie seems happy to meet children and adults out and about the home and welcomes a bit of fuss, the fosterers have no cause for concern around Barnie with people in any scenarios. He has been a joy to be around.
Barnie isn't confident with dogs, he will choose avoid them and avert his gaze away from them, He appears to have a realtivley nervous disposition around dogs. There has been one episode in foster where an off lead dog came right up to Barnie in his face (even though the fosterer advised the owner not to let the dog approach, but unfortunatley they couldn't recall their dog) and Barnie barked and snarled towards him. However the fosterer is keen to reiterate this only occurs in very close proximity to him, if, for example he walked past a dog on the street and he was between Barnie and an unknown dog, Barnie would not feel threatened or react. Barnie will not look to interact or react to dogs if he is given his space, which in truth doesn't need to be a lot for him to feel safe.
Barnie is an absolute dream on the lead, he walks perfectly to heel and rarely pulls, he is a very easy dog to walk. As a working cocker he really enjoys his walks out and about, and is alert, lively and energetic, but at 8 years old, also benefits from an off switch and will rest after his walks in the home.
Barnie is an amazing dog who would fit in so easily to a family with a little patience. He is well trained and very open to more training and learning. He is in very good health and condition.
