Bandit is a 2 year old Pembroke Corgi. He is still vaccinated although due his next one in the following month. He is neutered and microchipped.
Bandit is an energetic and intelligent in nature, and can also be very nervous. He is often conflicted when meeting new people and greets people very excitedly but his body language shows he is nervous when they lean down to stroke him. He is extremely intelligent and trains exceptionally well for food or play.
Bandit walks very well off and on lead. Bandits urge is always to run up to people and sometimes livestock over the forest, however allot of work has gone into his recall. 99% of the time he will break focus away from what he’s approaching and redirect himself to me allowing him to be placed back on lead or redirected into another activity.
He does not have any medical history, however he does have a behavioural one. Bandit struggles with resource guarding, predominantly around high value foods. Through working with our behaviourist we have better managing strategies for him in and out of the home, although it’s still an ongoing challenge for him. Bandit will not tolerated handling both at home and in the vets. The most he is tolerant of is a towel off after a walk, and brushing of his thick coat.

Bandit is nervous of other dogs and often snaps and growls at those that approach him at speed. He has been comfortable in the space of a single large dog he meets from time to time, but multiple dogs make him very nervous and standoffish.
Bandit currently lives with 2 cats but his herding nature makes this a challenge for him. He will try and herd them.
I believe bandit requires a home with no children. Currently he lives with two 3 year olds and as of November he has begun to direct aggression towards them at the boundary of a childgate. Again we have been working with our trainer and behaviourist and have had some positive progress. However the fear remains that a lapse in judgement by us, or a wrong move by the kids and they may get hurt.
Bandit came from a breeder in Wales who is aware of our struggles, and unable to have him return to her due to her 2 young children.
Our trainer and behaviourist would also like to be involved in the process and help him during the transition into a new if one can be found.
Bandit has a lot of love to give and is a very curious boy. He loves to be around people at home and is never far away when food is being made in the kitchen. He loves sitting on a lap for some attention and affection and would love to find his forever sofa to curl up on.

This little tripod is still looking for her forever home in an ONLY dog household in order to give her space & adequate one on one attention. Meet & greets would have to be arranged with another dog to assess if Jess would be ok with this

Jess is a 5 year old energetic border collie x whippet. She has the build & speed of a whippet, despite having 3 legs, but the fluffy coat of a border collie

She is microchipped, spayed & fully vaccinated.

She had one back leg amputated at 6 months old, but this does not stop her in anyway & leads a happy, normal life

She loves walks, especially running.

She’ll play with toys for a short time, especially liking tug.

She’s affectionate, comes when called & is friendly with other dogs when off lead. She can sometimes get overexcited when onlead. She is ok with other dogs outside of the home, she likes her own space.

She walks well onlead after some initial excitement, but can show lead frustration or be overstimulated. .

She is gentle with food.

She can sometimes be more wary of being examined, possibly due to her leg, but is no problem at the vet.

Just like any dog, she can bark at noise, but stops when asked to.

She doesn’t travel well in our van – salivating & sometimes being sick. We don’t have access to a car to try her in, but there is the possibility of meds or herbal remedies to control this.

She can be brushed with the soft side of a brush or a glove as her coat is thin & has gained confidence with having knots etc dealt with.
