His Story: Rodney was found stray. Was fostered with another dog, currently fostered as an only dog.  

Salient points: Greyhound cross Staffie. Police have certified 'not of type'. Kind gentle nature 'fun' temperament. Need large dog experience still learning to meet dogs through excited energy.

Advert: Rodney or 'Rodders'  a cartoon character straight from 'Only Fools and Horses'! He is lanky, a bit clumsy and so well meaning. He needs a large secure garden to express his energy and have fun. He is gentle by nature but best not to live with young children. He needs firm kind confident management, as he builds trust and realises he doesnt have to lead. He is still the puppy but beginning to tone his energy down and settle into routine and expectation. Rodney was fostered with another dog and they loved to play rough and he learnt dog skills from her role model. He proved himself to be playful but kind, and is learning to guage his energy. Rodney has been an only dog for many months now and is chilled in the house and copes with being left. Rodney is neutered, chipped and vax'd.  

So Rodney has settled into home life and been learning manners on the lead as he really wanted to go and meet everyone and it was everyone! His fosters have put the work into gaining his distraction and a halti works a treat! Rodney walks well on a short lead around streets and isn't driven to chase as such, but ofcourse every dog has their moments.  Rodders meets and socialises with other dogs well of all sizes but retained on a lead. Rodney needs a family to love and offer him the benefit of their experience. Rodney's owners would need to be confident with the management of a large dog.  He can be left and chills in the house and garden. A comedian and guaranteed to make you laugh.

Rodney is a comedian and will have you in stitches. He is extremely loving and very responsive to attention. As his trade mark, he has a backside with tail attached which moves from one side to the other like an articulated lorry!  Just look at the face! We ask you, the beauty and innocence.  Oh Rodney Trotter ... where is your Dell boy, Uncle Albert and Raquel?!
