Old border terrier in need of a home

Not sure this is the right place but we rescued a border terrier from a breeder who had used him as the stud dog (he has since been neutered). This was about 2 years ago. We think he is about between 8 and 10 years old. He is a lovely old boy extremely affectionate with people. Fantastic with kids. Solid as a rock. Never growls at anyone. Puts up with lots of kids stroking and playing with him. He chases balls and tries hard to play. Two walks of 20 mins a day and he's out like a light for a lot of the day. A real softy and very handsome. He's fit and well. However he is terrible with other dogs. We think it's fear based as he's always on alert in the park to chase away other dogs. If he sees another dog on the other side of the road he goes crazy barking. He really deserves an experienced dog owner who can take him on. Having two other dogs (ones a puppy) and my parents with alzheimers it's just all become too much. We need help. I want Monty to find a new loving home with someone who'll give him the love he deserves.

No need for me to add anything save that Dooin has it spot on as usual including that it would be unwise for you to take on the OP's dog whatever, and that I hope, Dooin*, that your problems ease very, very soon and that your Dad's back home fit and well just as quickly.

Bugger! Sorry, my bolding went wrong.

I can testify about the profile of a BT. My BT past away at probably 12 years old last December. We got him from a shelter in the USA at age 6; he was 11 when he past. "Sheff" was the best dog that I ever had. I believe that this website is in the UK. No? I will look for another in Pennsylvania, USA, where I reside. BT's can even become wonderful friends even if their early life was horrible. I know that from experience. A long story with a good outcome.

If you’re near stoke on Trent, I’d happily take him, not just saying that x

I think he possibly kept his home! ZOMBIE THREAC
