About Piglet

Meet Piglet! 🐷🩷 Piglet came to us as a stray, so unfortunately his history is a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that he's a big, happy-go-lucky goofball with a whole lot of personality. He is a very social, friendly boy who enjoys the company of other dogs, although he can sometimes be a little too enthusiastic with his greetings! He tends to copy what other dogs do, so if he gets nipped or told off, he may dish it straight back, but usually in a playful manner. Ongoing training and management around dog interactions will be important to help him learn when enough is enough. Piglet will need ongoing manners training, and his new owners should be prepared to start from scratch as he doesn't seem to have had much prior training. The good news is that he is eager to please, already walks well on lead and regularly checks in with his handler. He can be a little stubborn when things aren't going his way, so patience and consistency will be key! Being deaf means Piglet will need owners who understand that communication and training may look a little different. Ideally, his new family will have good knowledge of bully breeds, experience with boisterous dogs and previous experience with deaf dogs, or at least a good understanding of their needs and the additional considerations involved. Piglet may be suited to living with children over 10, provided they are dog-savvy and have an understanding of how his deafness may affect his behaviour. When it comes to doggy housemates, Piglet would need a very well-matched friend who can keep up with his playful nature and tolerate some of his nonsense! However, we think he would benefit as the only dog in the home, provided he still gets opportunities to socialise and play with some doggy friends outside the home.
