Theo’s personality

In the home, Theo is described as affectionate, sensitive, calm and nicely mannered. He has never shown aggression towards people and is reported to be good with other dogs.

He is a very loving dog and is described as an absolute poppet. He is also incredibly keen to please.

Outside, however, Theo’s working instincts really come into their own. He has a very strong working drive and is extremely interested in birds, squirrels and other wildlife.

He is a strong and energetic dog, approximately the size of a small Labrador, and pulls extremely hard on the lead. His strength and enthusiasm mean that he needs someone who is physically capable of handling him safely.

What Theo needs

Theo needs an experienced home that understands working Cockers and the needs of an active working dog.

He will need someone who can provide plenty of appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, training and time. His new home will need to understand that his working instincts are a significant part of who he is and be prepared to work with him rather than simply expecting him to behave like a typical pet dog.

Theo’s recall is currently unreliable, so his new home will also need to understand and manage this safely.

Because of Theo’s size, strength and exuberance, a home with young children would not be considered suitable. This is not because of aggression; he simply has so much strength and enthusiasm that he could easily knock a small child over. A home with teenagers or adults would be more appropriate.

Theo is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped.

Theo is currently under assessment

Theo is currently under assessment with UK Spaniel Rescue, and we are still gathering information about him and his needs.

We are awaiting his completed rehoming form and photographs, and there is further information that we need to establish as part of his assessment.

This profile will be updated as we receive more information and complete our assessment of Theo.

Our priority is to build as complete a picture of Theo as possible so that we can identify the type of home where he is most likely to thrive.

Theo deserves a home that will give him the time, patience, exercise, stimulation and understanding he needs to enjoy the next chapter of his life.
