Merlin :smt049
Merlin is a three-year-old male Welsh Springer Spaniel, who came to The Mayhew because of domestic problems. He is well-behaved, toilet-trained, walks well on his lead, has good recall and can be left alone without problems. Though slightly aloof with strangers, he is affectionate with people once he gets to know them. This gentle, sensible boy, who is quite calm for his breed, loves his gravy bones, chasing a ball and being cuddled, though sometimes he likes some time to himself. He will need one to two hours of off-lead exercise every day.
Merlin suffers from allergies, which can affect his mood, but he has a special diet which keeps this and any skin problems at bay. The Mayhew will supply his special food at cost price so that his new guardians avoid any extra expense.
Though totally trustworthy with strangers and when out and about, Merlin has a stubborn streak which manifests itself when at home with his guardians, where he would like to think he is in charge and will become possessive with his toys and favourite spot on the sofa. He has been known to snap. For this reason, he will need an experienced and understanding guardian who will take a gentle and consistent approach to teaching him his manners and bringing out the best in him. He will need to go to training classes to help him overcome his stubbornness. Ideally, he needs a home without children.
With the correct diet and wise, consistent handling, Merlin will bring his new guardian immense rewards.
