Rex
Rex is a 5yr old intelligent, castrated male Golden Retriever who has a fantastic pedigree. He is microchipped and has been health checked by a vet and properly groomed, as are all the IRR dogs.
HISTORY
The decision to rehome them was heartwrenching but there was no option and the reassurance that IRR would find the dogs a wonderful home together did make all the difference to them.
PERSONALITY
Rex is a happy, affectionate boy but he got very stressed if separated from Sandy as he seemed to rely on her being in charge. Rex was like a kid on a first date when they were reunited after being parted for grooming. When it was his turn, he was fine being groomed and pampered.
Sandy is the more dominant of the two and, like any good husband, Rex is more than happy to follow orders. If she thinks he is getting out of line by being too boisterous, she will put him right.
SOCIAL LEARNING
Housetraining: Rex is housetrained
Leadwalking: and Recall: His leadwalking needs work as does his recall. He is excitable but training classes would definitely ease this.
Children: He is brilliant with children and is not at all possessive.
Dogs: It would seem he is not good with other dogs other than his mate, Sandy but this is, undoubtedly, due to his reliance on Sandy to be the brave one of the partnership.
Cats: It is unknown how he is with cats
