Jass Hooper

Jass, or Jass Boy, is a 4 year old neutered, male, purebred Golden Retriever.

HISTORY

His owner is finding it difficult to manage with three young children and Jass. They have relinquished him to Irish Retriever Rescue after having been told about us and how passionate we are about Golden Retrievers and, naturally, on the understanding he would get a great home. He had a lump (harmless cyst) removed from his back at the same time he was neutered and he was quiet after surgery but he reverted to his bouncy self in no time. He remained in foster with his owners

PERSONALITY
He can be a bit boisterous but he has a very sweet personality. He loves to be outdoors: long walks, and play. He’s in heaven when he’s on the beach, when he can play in the water. He likes it when he is scratched on his head, behind the ears and on his back. Jass is quite fussy with his food and doesn’t eat a lot. He hates firworks.

SOCIAL LEARNING

Travel: He travels well in the car.

Grooming: He will be groomed, as are all IRR dogs, before being rehomed. He hates getting his nails cut or being brushed on his tail or around it.

Leadwalking and recall: He is strong on the lead and his recall needs work. He doesn’t like to be left outside on his own even for a few minutes.

Children : He is fantastic with children as he has been brought up with them.

Dogs: He loves to play with other dogs but he will be very scared when they will start to bark at him.

Cats: He hasn’t been cat tested.
