This is description of present owner of the dog which is looking for new family...
Arty is a stunning male CAS, an exemplar of the breed. He is 12 months old and being rehomed due to some behavioural issues. Arty’s ideal home would be as follows: as an only pet, and due to his large size, to live with adults and older children only (because of his size). He would need a reasonably large, completely enclosed and secure garden. He is completely housetrained and sleeps quietly in the house at night (except for the occasional bark, if there is noise outside). He generally walks well on the lead. However, he is dog reactive, so needs a strong and confident person to continue his training/desensitisation. He spends most of his day snoozing, while keeping one eye open for trespassers on his patch, be they human, feline, canine or avian Then he shoots off like a rocket to ward off all (perceived) threats 😂 He loves being with his people, but just generally being in their vicinity is enough. He is not a demanding or needy dog. Due to his size and weight, however, he is a big ‘presence’ in the house and can sometimes be stubborn about doing what he’s told, so he needs an experienced dog owner, ideally with livestock guardian or ‘primitive’ breeds.
