Freddie is a very friendly young boy who is in need of an experienced owner who is familiar with larger breeds. He is absolutely gorgeous and knows exactly how handsome he is because of how often he hears it. A stunning blond with captivating amber eyes and a cheeky grin, what more could you want!

Freddie is very intelligent and loved a good run around the garden with his toy. He can be a bit boisterous when he is excited and due to his large size we would not rehome him with children, older teenagers will be considered especially if they are dog savvy. He would suit an active family who can handle his bursts of energy. But at the end of the day, Freddie loves a snuggle just as much as any dog. He loves a chill out in our caravan and likes to lean on you so you can pop an arm round and watch TV together.

Freddie is a Leishmaniasis positive dog. Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by infection with Leishmania parasites. These parasites are spread through the bite of infected sand flies. It is likely that he caught is when he was rescued from Macedonia. He has undergone treatment with Milteforan and continues on Allopurinol, which we will supply to his owner for his lifetime. It’s simply a daily tablet that he takes with his dinner, eating it happily without any fuss, along with annual blood tests. He can run and play the same as any other dog and will live a long, happy life with his forever family. It is a shame that the stigma of a disease has prevented him from being rehomed as he is such a lovely character. Leish CANNOT be spread to humans or other animals.

Freddie settles well in the evening, even better when he has a chew to keep him occupied. He has such a wonderful personality with a charming silly streak, he will need time to settle into a new environment but will soon let his true character shine through.

Ideally, Freddie would need a home where he is the only dog, however there is the potential for him to share a home with another dog following a successful meet and slow introductions. We would not rehome him with cats or small animals.

He could walk for miles and miles and loves to have a good sniff around, however he can be strong on the lead at times. We have found that he walks beautifully when using a Halti.

He has had no lasting effects following treatment and is perfectly healthy. He will live a long and happy life with his future adopters.
