Duster is a handsome middle aged deerhound cross, who is currently enjoying home comforts in foster. He’s a big lad, and has likely been a working lurcher before coming into us. For this reason, care is needed around wildlife and other small creatures! Despite his working past, Duster is affectionate with people, and all in all, a very sweet companion for a quite home.

Duster would appreciate people being around most of the day as he really enjoys the company of his humans. He likes to be with you, but also settles well at home so may suit people who work from home. He will need to be the only dog in the home and also cannot live with cats or other small furries.

He is uncomfortable around other dogs and prefers to avoid them if possible, but can also be reactive if not given plenty of space and options to avoid. As he’s a bit of a home-bod, Duster does not need to be walked, assuming he has a decent secure outside space in which to mooch about and play with his humans. Any walks would need to be very quiet and in areas where he would not come across off-lead dogs. Our behaviour team can advise further and support on this, but adopters would need to be willing to follow an ongoing training plan and prepared to commit to supporting him with his dog reactivity.

Duster is a bright and clever boy, who knows some basic behaviours and is responding well to reward-based learning.

Could you offer this delightful lad the forever home he deserves? Somebody out there will be very lucky to have this lovely hound in their life!
