Blu is a bright, affectionate boy who builds strong bonds with his people—on his own terms of course. While he can enjoy fuss, he’s can get a little overwhelmed by too much attention and prefers affection when he’s ready. He’s has the Dachshund vocal range and will often express himself freely!
He enjoys most toys and will happily play both interactively and independently. Blu was very connected to his owners in his previous home, often following them from room to room, even during food preparation. He’ll need adopters who can provide reassurance and company while helping him build confidence being left alone. Blu is typical of his breed and has a lovely nature, looking for a calm home to help provide him with comfort and support whilst settling into his new home.
He will benefit from time alone to be introduced very gradually. Previously housetrained, Blu would wait by the back door when he needed to go out. However he will need some support and further routine as he re-establishes good habits in a new home. A secure garden is essential to help with housetraining and provide safe, off-lead time.
Blu is unlikely to cope with a neighbouring dog which was gathered in his previous home. So a home without immediate neighbouring dogs would suit him best. He’ll also need quiet walking areas where space can be created as needed to help him feel comfortable. If you’re patient, understanding, and can offer a calm home with a secure garden, Blu will reward you with loyalty, character, and companionship.
