Her dog is an 11mth old Czechoslovakian Wolfdog x Saarloos wolfhond he is a real handful (as you will probably gather form his mix) though he is a lovely dog he's not really into people at all and has only recently started to let people fuss him, though he is on a whole great with the other dogs he is very playful and hasnt ever shown any true aggression. His owner has spent a huge amount of money on trainers and he is making some progress but she is getting the point where she is at the end of her tether and has hit a brick wall trying to find a trainer that understands this breed, she wants to re home him :(. I have said i will ask for your advice on which rescue would be best to contact.
I dont totally believe that she is ready to give up yet, so if you or anyone else could recommend someone that truly know how this breed works, so many have said they do but have basically taken her money and given up on him.
The breeder should never have sold her this dog in the first place!!, she actually thought she was basically getting a GSD that looked like a wolf!! and from i can gather when she has spoken to other breeders with dogs of a similar make up going on timbers pedigree, the litter its self should never have been bred, there is a chance that the pups may have more wolf hybrid than is suitable for a pet bred dog. Contacting his breeder would not be a wise move imo.
The dog is totally obsessed with one of the bitches in our little walking gang, and just will not leave her alone!! (constantly mounting her). Today when his owner went to put him back onlead he went totally bonkers the noise he made was like nothing i have ever heard and he was chattering his teeth it wasnt a howl as such he almost sounded like he was in pain (which of course he wasnt). She was struggling to keep him under control, i (like a god damn fool!!) went to help her (leaving my dog and my 2YO DS with friend and fellow dog walker well out of the way) as by this point the poor woman was in tears, the dog bite me, not badly but a bloody good warning bite!! my own fault i shouldnt have been an idiot.
Val my friend (not said dog owner) has also Pmed you on your Val account but we're not sure if PMs still get to you, if your using a different name :).
