About  Chompie...

Sadly Chompie has been with us for quite a few years now. He is a complicated man who needs an experienced owner with a routine. He is very particular about having some kind of order with his day and can get quite distressed if his routine changes. His absolute favourite thing is sitting in the grass in the sunshine and watching the world go by with a tennis ball in his mouth. From a previous home trial Chompie had he would probably be happiest with someone who is around most of the time, maybe who will let him sleep in their room overnight too. Chompie walks with a muzzle on as if he is on the lead and one of his stress triggers goes off he takes it out on his lead, he chewed through multiple leads when he first arrived, we tried a chain one after this but he still continued to the point we were concerned about him breaking his teeth. Once he is comfortable with you he is the biggest soft lump, he loves to sit on your lap or nuzzle in to your side for big cuddles. While forming bonds with people he has been known to try and push boundaries and this usually involves him trying to grab hold of baggy clothing, he does respond to being firmly told no when he gets in to one of these moods though. His ideal home would be as the only pet and have a secure garden to enjoy with no neighbouring dogs in an adult only quiet household. He hopes someone will give him the chance he deserves.
