Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs ongoing support

Can I be left alone?

No

Bodie does love his people so much, especially the ladies, and forms very strong attachments. He is looking for a home where he will have someone around to keep him company and build up any time on his own very gradually.

Do I have any medical conditions?

None

Bodie has a clean bill of health and can be fully insured after rehoming. 

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

No

Can I live with cats?

No

Can I live with small pets?

No

Additional information

Bodie is conflicted when he sees dogs and doesn’t like those too bouncy or energetic around him.

He has very occasionally walked with larger dogs if they’re calm, but he prefers to stay with his humans rather than be around other dogs on his walks.

Bodie will need continued training in his new home with dogs, and we’ll show you the training we’ve started to help him feel more comfortable if he sees them.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Bodie is a friendly boy who loves people and making friends, but has shown that he doesn’t like being disturbed whilst resting and is unsure around children.

Due to this, he will need to go to a home with adults only.

 

 

What type of environment would suit me?

Bodie will need a secure garden with 6ft fencing in his new home, giving him a safe space to roam freely and stretch his long Lurcher legs.

He loves spending time outside with his people, especially when they’re gardening, and will happily entertain himself by throwing his toys around.

About Bodie

Bodie is a very gentle and affectionate soul.

He loves having a good play and zoom about in a typical lurcher fashion before crashing out in his comfiest spot.

He enjoys his walks and saying hello to as many people as possible (although we are teaching him that not everyone loves dogs the same way he loves people!).

Bodie is ready to find his forever family in people who are looking for their new best friend!

Goofy, elegant and strong contenders for the best snoozers, there are many sides to the lovely Lurcher! Learn more about the breed at Ask Woodgreen.
