Gus came to us as a stray into our Essex kennels just before Christmas, he moved our Cheshire kennels in February he is 7 years old, neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.

Since being with us he has shown he knows the basic commands so it appears someone has put some work in with him. He is an independent boy but once he knows you he is affectionate, he loves to play ball and would do this for hours if he could. He is a real water baby, loved the hydro pool but also loves muddy puddles.

Since arriving at GSRE kennels he has shown no aggression to any of the kennel staff or volunteers. He did show some food aggression around his bowl when he first arrived but this has diminished and is fine when left alone to eat in peace. He takes treats nicely and when given high value treats in his kennel he takes them off to his bed to eat alone.

He walks well on lead, he has been walked using a Gencon headcollar by some volunteers and whilst out he has seen joggers, cyclists, walkers, and horse riders with no reaction. He does react to some dogs but he has shown he can walk past them with no reaction if kept on a short lead and told to leave it. He has walked alongside another of our kennel dogs with no major issues.

Due to his unknown previous history, we would not recommend rehoming with young children, cats or other dogs for safety reasons.

Gorgeous Gus was loving life, especially his swimming sessions as he loved water. Sadly Gus passed over Rainbow Bridge where he is swimming free.
