Other: Da Vinchi needs a home with a large garden if possible. He is quite dog aggressive although I am able to distract him from other dogs using sit and look at me (he will do anything for food). He is a very strong boy and will pull on lead but walks very nicely using a halti.
Will chase cats if given the opportunity and is not over keen on horses or cows!
He needs an owner who would be prepared to continue his loose lead walking. He is great around children but ideally we would like to find an adult only or teenage children home, due to his size. If you think you can offer a home to this lovely boy please contact us on 07880 741 428

This is Da Vinchi in the middle of a lane surrounding by cows and sheep on both sides! He responds immediately to the "Look at me" cue and is walking like a gentleman on a halti.

for DaVinchi he looks a good boy

He has a lovely face

Took Da Vinchi out for a walk again today - he was brilliant. We passed sheep, horses and cows with not a sound. He is so trainable - very food orientated. Really want to get him out of kennels asap tho.

The cows were quite aggressive yesterday as they were protecting their calves. They came charging over to the fence when they saw Da Vinchi. What did he do? Well.......he turned his back, sat and looked at me! What a star.

Da Vinci

your new home is just around the corner

How can anyone resist? All he wants is a nice warm home, a garden and lots and lots of cuddles.

Da Vinchi came to our house today to give him some off lead exercise in our garden. Had a great time chasing a huge noseball and smelling all the countryside scents.

Poor Da Vinchi was feeling very sorry for himself today so we spent time having cuddles in his bed.
He was brilliant on his walk though - managed to sit and look at me, right in front of some huge horses that previously frightened him.
What a star.

Couple of short video clips of Da Vinchi today. He has dogs either side of his kennel but isnt bothered in the slightest.

He is lovely and obviously loves human company

Bet you'll miss him when he finds his forever home. he's not waiting too much longer.

I know. I actually look forward to going to the kennels each time. It needs to be a very special home cos he is a very special boy!

Thats Da Vinchi away to a fantastic new home! So pleased for him.
