William, Stunningly handsome Staffie x

[Baglady]

Please give a warm Friends welcome to William



William was super-excited when we brought him out for his photo session, but we managed to get him to pose nicely in exchange for sausages. Come and get 'em William!





William overheard us saying 'I wonder if he knows 'paw'.....

He's such a bright boy - he was miles ahead of us





William is still a little excitable, like a child in a playpark, but he responds beautifully to clear and calm instructions, and despite being a little mouthy when he was freestyling around the garden, William showed us that he could take treats as gently as a lamb from our fingers





We gave William the pick of the toy box, he wasn't interested in tuggies or balls, but it didn't take us long to find out his favourite thing in the whole world was the red plastic squeaky bone!



Which lasted all of 2 minutes!



Never mind William, plenty more where they came from thanks to the very generous donations we had over Christmas!

William met our resident dog temperament tester Bas...



It's always good to know that our incoming dogs have good doggy manners



Bas is such a clever boy at sussing out whether our incomers are friendly, and he gave Williams the thumbs up. Yep - he seems like a nice boy mum! Give the boy a sausage!

hi any idea how old william is ? he looks quite a small staffie which is is better for me or does he have some growing to do ?

[Brynbach]

I walked William on Saturday, he had lots of energy and was keen to go walking. Once he settled into his walk he would turn his head to acknowledge me and stop & wait patiently before crossing a road. He was not bothered by traffic. He was gentle in taking treats and almost seem to thank me with a quick fuss then back to the business of walking. A very alert dog. I look forward to walking him again.

I had another lovely walk with William, he has plenty of energy and couldn't wait to start walking, he settled into the walk, acknowledging me when I spoke to him, waited patiently to cross the road and would walk at my pace if I kept him on a shorter lead. He showed a friendly interest in other people as we passed. I also got rewarded with a kiss on our return. He really is a lovely dog.

Hi is William still available please ? If so how old is he and does he have any health issues?
Would he be suitable to be homed with either another staffie or a pugalier ? Thanks
