We have an 11 month old Labrador crossed with bearded collie, German shepherd and husky. He's a very handsome, smart boy. We have really struggled to give him what he needs due to our circumstances at home and it seems we weren't prepared for all the 'working dog' temperaments and we didn't realise we would lack the skills needed to train such a dog with all these breeds rolled into one. He is a high drive dog. We feel he would be better off with owners who know how to train and control him and have plenty outdoor space for him. He's really smart and fast. He knows many commands sit, fetch, catch, go to bed and go to sleep and plenty more. Negatives are he pulls on the lead and seeks quite a a lot of attention and he needs to be with us all the time but we have been continually training him and this just needs to carry on. Our landlady won't allow us to leave him in the house alone and so he can occasionally get upset when left alone and will tear up anything around him (bed/shoe/blanket etc) We have been working on these issues with a trainer and it will take some more weeks to get his obedience dialled in.
But these things, with the right person, can be fixed. He needs someone to train him that it's good to be calm.
It's a horrible decision to have to make as we love him very much so we will be seeking the perfect home and new owners for him.
He sleeps in his crate at night and happily naps in it during the day. We decided that we would move house because of the landlady's rules but there has been delays.

Be extra cautious with online transactions!
We encourage you to read these guidelines before buying or adopting a dog.
Carry out the research so you have the necessary knowledge of the pet you are getting. Since owning a dog is a big commitment, you should research about the breed fully to make sure it fits your current lifestyle and budget.
Take time to visit the advertiser's home to confirm if they are genuine. Do not settle for online communications and photos. UK Pets does not verify the authenticity of all advertisers. The advertiser should allow you to personally see the puppies with the puppies' mother. If they keep on giving you excuses why you could not visit their home or the address stated in the advert is not the accurate and permanent location of the pet, consider this a red flag.
Never pay anything online through money transfer companies especially if you have not personally visited the advertiser and seen the puppy, this includes deposit and delivery cost for the puppy. There is also no means to recover your money if issues arise. Before closing a deal, you must have signed a well-defined contract.
The advertiser should only release the puppies when they are 8 weeks old or older. They should be responsible enough to know that separating the puppy from the mother earlier results in medical and behavioural issues.
If you have reasons to believe that an Advertiser is not genuine, please report them to us immediately.
