Are you right for Finn?

Finn is looking for a home where he can be the only dog, but he may be able to have calm canine walking buddies. He is also unable to live with other smaller pets due to having a high prey drive. His new home will initially need to be able to provide minimal leaving hours and build time left on his own up slowly over time. Finn will need a home with a secure, private garden, with fences that are a minimum of 6ft. Resident and visiting children will need to be secondary school aged or over, due to Finn's size, strength and sometimes boisterous nature.

Is Finn right for you?

Finn is a typical five-year-old Trailhound, full of affection, food and drive. He will try to follow his nose anywhere and therefore a secure garden is a must! Finn also struggles with being left so will need company whilst he is settling in. He will settle in his crate here in the kennels, so should be capable of building up leaving hours, using positive training techniques and a slow approach. Finn can be conflicted when meeting other dogs, but he is working hard with his handlers to help build his confidence. In general, Finn has lots of love to give to his forever home and would love a home where he can explore safely using his nose.
