ABOUT HUGO
Hi, I’m Hugo!
I am a very loving, loyal and affectionate boy.
I love my food and treats! Particularly long lasting chews.
I am very playful and my favourite thing to do is play ball!
I am obsessed with water and love to play with the hose and go for a paddle in the sea/rivers.
I am used to being left for short, reasonable periods of time. I have previously been crate trained.
I travel well in the car and I am used to travelling in the boot.
I am an active boy and would love to find a home who can take me on lots of adventures.
I would love to find a Shepherd experienced home, please reach out to my team if you can offer me a foster or forever home!
HEALTH
I am in good general health. I will have an additional health check prior to rehoming.
MY TEMPERAMENT WITH OTHER DOGS
I have had some dog friends with a slow and gentle introduction.
I can get very frustrated on lead and show my reactivity when on the lead.
I am a strong boy and currently walk with a figure of 8 lead.
MY IDEAL FAMILY
I would love an adult only, active home who can provide me with plently of physical exercise and mental enrichment that breeds like me thrive from.
A home who is able to confidently handle me on lead.
I would prefer a medium-large sized garden due to my size and breed.
