Biscuit

About This Project

Biscuit – Pup

Age: 10 months

Breed: Cavapoochon (Medium Sized dog)

Donation: £400

• Would benefit from a playful but balanced canine companion
• Not cat tested but no prey drive seen, so a cat would likely put him in his place quickly! 
• Older calm children, he does jump up when excited and may be over stimulated by excitable young children. 
• He will need regular grooming to keep on top of his big fuzzy coat
• A cute and desirable breed, but is still a puppy and requires a commitment to training

Background –

Biscuit was unfortunately returned to rescue after 6 weeks as his family couldn’t cope with his barking. However this hasn’t happened in his 2 foster placements before or after. He has moved around a lot considering his young age as he was initially handed in to rescue at 8 months old. 

Character –

Biscuit is a very happy, excitable puppy, he loves to be with you and is a gentle and goofy Teddy bear of a dog. Happy to be groomed, hugged and picked up, he will lick you while you do it or get all goofy and roll on his back for a belly rub. 

He’s good with other dogs large & small and would benefit from the companionship and guidance of another playful dog who is balanced to help his burn off his energy and learn from. 

He listens well when other dogs tell him off if he’s in their space or being too excitable. He doesn’t push his luck and will sit and maybe give a little protest yap but settles down and takes notice. 

He does have typical puppy excitability and jumping up when excited, like when his lead comes out or it’s dinner time, which can easily be addressed with consistent basic training. 

He will occasionally bark at some noises like car doors slamming in the street but it’s not excessive.

He loves to be off lead in open space and chase other dogs but comes back to check in and stays nearby so his lead & recall training will be easy to carry on. He can pull a little on the lead or chew on the lead being daft when excited. He has good recall and housetraining already. 

Type of home –

Biscuit would like a home with someone who can be with him at lot, especially to begin with while he’s still young and learning the basics. He needs to feel secure that his next home is for life, he would likely have separation anxiety if left alone for periods so this would need to be gradually built up. 

Today he’s spent an hour running and playing in a secure field and has been relaxed and quiet in the house ever since, snoozing on the floor or sofa. Regular daily exercise and consistent basic training is key for Biscuits success while maturing. 

He loves to sleep on the bed with his humans or on the floor in the bedroom to be near you and after a morning wee will happily go back to bed for a nice lie in. 

He travels well in the car. 

He would be great at some fun agility or as a jogging buddy once old enough, he would thrive at doing activities with his humans and other dogs, even just regular socials with a chance to run around with other dogs. 

Adopting –

Biscuit is in foster care in Axebridge and successful applicants will need to come and meet him here.
