***Update*** - Crumpet has a wonderful new home on a farm of 22 acres and a new lab best friend to play with. He has settled really well and is very happy. Thank you everyone for your enquiries and messages. 🙏
Looking for a very special home for Crumpet!
One of my lovely clients has made the incredibly difficult decision to find a new home for their young working Labrador, Crumpet.
This decision has not been made lightly. Due to ongoing health issues, work commitments and the realisation that they are simply not able to give Crumpet the lifestyle and input he needs, they feel that finding him the right home is the kindest decision for him.
Crumpet is a 21 week old working Labrador from excellent breeding. He is bright, incredibly quick to learn and has a real enthusiasm for training. He is a very personable little dog who loves people, loves a cuddle and has bags of character.
He already has a lovely sit, his recall is coming along really nicely and he thoroughly enjoys being out walking, exploring and chasing a ball. He has a strong working ethic and I think he could absolutely flourish in a home where he has a job to do. He would potentially make a lovely gundog for someone wanting to continue his training, or would equally suit an active home interested in giving him plenty of purposeful training and mental stimulation.
Crumpet is great with other dogs. He is sociable and playful, but importantly he is also very respectful when another dog communicates that they have had enough. He is bouncy, enthusiastic and very much a young Labrador, so his new home needs to enjoy that energy rather than be looking for a quiet little sofa ornament!
One area Crumpet has needed some additional support with is coping when people leave him. He can find separation and loss of access to his people difficult and this is something his new owner will need to continue working on gradually. He has already shown some really encouraging progress with careful management and short, positive separation exercises.
Because of this, Crumpet is not suitable for a home where everybody is out at work 9–5. His ideal home would have somebody around for much of the day who can continue gradually building his confidence around being left.
A home with some understanding of working breeds or working Labradors would be ideal, where his intelligence and enthusiasm can be channelled appropriately. He needs someone who enjoys training, understands that young working dogs need both appropriate outlets and downtime, and is prepared to continue putting the work into him.
Crumpet has so much potential. In the right home, with consistency, training and an appropriate lifestyle, I think he will grow into an absolutely cracking dog.
I have spent time working with Crumpet myself and am very happy to support his new owner with his ongoing training and transition into his new home.
Crumpet is up to date with his vaccinations, flea treatment and worming. His current owners will be asking for a financial contribution towards him, but this can be discussed directly with them once a suitable home has been identified.
If you genuinely think you could offer Crumpet the sort of home described above, please get in touch with some information about yourself, your household, your experience with dogs, your working arrangements and the sort of life you could offer him.
