RUBAD CARDIGANS PUPPY PAGE

We have an adult available, our Jacob, who can be seen on our Boys Page. Jacob is on the larger size, he's 43 pounds. He is very handsome, and I would even say, cute.

Jacob

He is a sweet and loving boy, but independent like most Cardigans. He is more obedient than most of my Cardigans have been. He has had some obedience training and has been competing in Barnhunt. He has had an agility foundations class and has been on sheep.

Jacob can be leash reactive, but he's had a lot of behavioral training, so is manageable. He likes other dogs off lead. Some pushy dogs scare him, but mostly his interactions are very appropriate. In the home, he would need to be an only dog or live with a larger, friendly dog. He resource guards toward our other dogs in the home, but he's too chicken to challenge our large German Shepherd. He has very good bite inhibition, and even with our dogs that he guards against, he doesn't cause harm. He does not display this behavior with people.

Jacob was fearful as a young puppy, and still startles if he encounters something weird, like a crack in the pavement on his back feet. Most of the time you would never know that he started out that way. I feel that he is ready to spread his wings and have his own home. He hasn't lived with kids, so I want to find an adult only home, or a home with gentler older kids. He isn't hostile with little ones, but they worry him when they move fast. Jacob needs a light touch, as harsh treatment frightens him. He is very willing to do what I want when I am gentle and reasonable with him.

He needs his exercise, so a large area where he can run or regular walks are a must. He would be a great performance prospect if desired. He likes his barnhunt competitions and has taken an agility foundations class. He has been on sheep and has herding instinct.

He is crate trained, neutered and up to date on vaccines. He's excellent in the car and has traveled to dog shows and performance events.

Because he is already an adult, I want to find the right fit for him, and of course, if he doesn't work out, he must be returned to me. If you would like more information about Jacob, please contact Nancy at 614-256-7686.
