Are you right for Digby?

We are looking for an active home for Digby with adopters who can keep him mentally and physically stimulated throughout the day. He is always on the go so a home that can keep up with him is essential, there is small amounts of the day where he rests! He is a typical spaniel out and about, nose to the ground exploring but he is incredibly strong on lead so will need confident handlers. Adopters willing to keep him on lead would be ideal as he lacks in road sense. Digby could live with another dog, however they would need to be a young and active dog that can match his energy. Any resident dogs would need to be vaccinated and neutered. Digby could live with children aged 14+ who are dog-savvy and confident. Digby can become overwhelmed and hump sometimes so this will need on-going management in the home. He does like to be cheeky and steal things around the house, so we are teaching him a swap as he does not like to give items up. This is something adopters will need to continue working on, following our advice. He needs a home with a secure, private garden and he cannot live with cats or small furries. Digby's ideal home would be one that has minimal leaving, as he adores company and does struggle when left, although this can slowly be built up over time in his new home

Is Digby right for you?

Digby is a 10-month-old Sprocker Spaniel who is full of beans! Digby is into everything and loves to be involved in whatever his foster carer is doing. He has a lively, playful nature with a splash of mischief and cheekiness! Digby is still a young lad with lots of learning to do so is looking for a home that can continue his training, particularly around impulse control and stealing things! Digby would love to do things like agility and man-trailing.
