Benny, Whippet Lurcher, DOB 02.08 – Godstone, Surrey


Homing Requirements: Benny has brilliant dog skills and ideally needs to live with another dog(s). Benny is collar sensitive, so not to live with children and under supervision with visitors: Benny's key is he approaches you. Typical Lurcher he can be an opportunist with food! Benny is an off lead dog with awareness. Not for cats or small furries.

His Story: Benny was found stray in February 2010 and shared his kennel with other dogs. He became collar protective though always accepted slip-leads. He has largely grown out of this but still needs a sensitive approach, where he initiates advances. Benny is brilliant with dogs and has so much love on offer. Neutered and chipped. Benny is just returning to kennels near Godstone, Surrey after a year in foster with another dog.

Advert: Benny is extremely loving and fine with confident, caring owners. Benny is great with other dogs; sensitive to other dog’s needs. He adores toys and will entertain himself and you for hours! Benny is keen and alert when on lead but listens. Benny has perfect recall, in fact he doesn't stray far. Benny so enjoys agility courses. He has perfect manners when meeting other dogs too. Ever on 'squirrel alert' but returns and is distractible so does not have intense chase drive.

Benny is a 5 years old Whippet Lurcher. He has keen beady eyes, focused either into loving you or outside on trees and the horizon, but his heart is still with his walker. Very relaxed in his home and settles to watch and muse on the broad spectrum that life offers. He has a speaking voice which he uses to relate his take on life, which is very amusing. Benny is enthralled with life and activity – well wouldn't he be spending nearly all his life in kennels! If Benny had been female we would have called him JOY!

Please note that this dog is currently in boarding kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found.
