Rex - Scotland

Rex is an absolutely stunning male German Shepard he is entire as had a flutter with his heart when under GA when he was booked in to be castrated so they brought him round. Rex is a sensitive soul who will love you with his entire being once he trusts you and knows you are confident with him …nervous people make Rex nervous !

Rex is very reactive with other male dogs and this has became hugely exaggerated due to the introduction of Betty a four year old female jack Russel ( who bosses him around!). 

He is a very  protective dog and would need an experienced confident owner who could show him that he doesn’t have to take the lead . I have worked with trainers but it has became Very clear that I’m just not a confident enough leader for my boy . We have been attacked by a few dogs off leash and this has caused both he and I to be fearful on walks , causing Rex more anxiety, thus more reactivity. 

Rex doesn’t  know how to deal with running children, bikes etc so would need careful introduction to any children and would need to be the in a home with older children only who are used to the breed and would leave him alone to come to them when he felt ready.

He LOVES his ball and enjoys it being hidden under his bed ,or in various places in the house and being told to sit and wait …then go find! He has huge potential for obedience training ,and I just don’t have the time he deserves to fulfil his potential .

I am rehoming Rex because due to the breakdown of my relationship I no longer have my partner to take the strain. Poor Rex is being walked at 5 am so I can avoid other dogs and when I have him, only going into our garden to play etc….he deserves so so much more . In the right confident hands he will be an incredible example of the breed. 

He did live with a very confident cat for several months and was very respectful of him, the cat did swipe him a couple of times so he knew not to cross the line with him.
