Responsibilities

Twice daily feed, at least one good (min 30 minute) walk each day - up to x2 walks of 30-60 mins (weather dependant) Cuddles, company and playtime - kicking a football or tennis ball throwing, but he gets over excited so we keep it to occasional short bursts! Keeping him out of deep fast flowing rivers and out of mischief. He loves water so staying away from big rivers is a must.. Our garden is pretty secure but he does like to chase cats, birds and furry creatures so keep an eye on him when he's outside. He also digs holes. In the house he is allowed on the leather sofa in the kitchen, but not on any other furniture. He eats at about 8am and about 6pm - and he tends to go to bed at about 10pm and will sleep until 7.30-8am. He's pretty low maintenance most of the time but does get very cuddly sometimes and will 'chat' by whining when he wants to play. He barks when he hears certain noises, people coming to the door etc. We distract him with a toy or something when he does that because we don't want to stop him from barking at danger but not to be a nuisance. He is not allowed to play tug, he is allowed occassional human food treats of yoghurt, apple (peeled and cored) carrot and lean meat and has everyday treats and high value treats. He has an every day treat now and again 'just because' and a high value treat when he is left on his own, and after we have eaten supper in the evening. He has a small treat at bedtime but rarely eats it until he wakes up. He isn't on any medication. He eats a dry food with a gravy. And plant watering - yes please :)
