Good day to you my friends. I’m so glad you stopped by to read my information. My name is Yogi and I’ve come to Gables to search of my happily ever after.

I like meeting new people and I enjoy spending time with those I already know too. When I see any of my human friends I get so excited I ‘AWOOOOOO’ at them. If you click the link to my video above you’ll see exactly what I mean by that. When meeting strangers I much more controlled and usually walk past calmly.

Since being here I have discovered my love for teddies. You don’t even need to engage with me while I play as I am very happy throwing the toys around and catching them all by myself. I need plenty of room to play in though as I don’t always look where I am going when I’m having such a great time. When I’m ready to get humans involved in my game I will bring the toy over and push it into your hands to ask you to play with me.

I like going for walks and most of the time I walk really nicely on my lead and harness. I’m happy to go for walks anywhere as I am comfortable meeting people and dogs. Before coming here I was living outside, which means I’m not used to what you humans call a home. I’ve also heard all about this thing you call a sofa from the other dogs and I’m actually quite excited to give one a try. In my previous life I was used as a working dog and I was trained to hunt other animals which has left me with a very high prey drive. I do however love the company of other dogs and I get super excited, bouncing up and down, when I get to say hello to one. To protect other animals (cats, sheep etc) on walks I need to find a caregiver who will happily keep me on the lead and make sure I am wearing my muzzle when we are out and about. I’ve been muzzle trained and I am more than happy wearing it.

As I’ve not been in a home before I will need some help and guidance to know what is expected of me in this new kind of environment. I would like to live with caregivers who have experience with sight hounds and have a secure garden for me to play in with very high (6ft) and secure fencing as I do have a very high bounce. I’m a bit like Tigger.

I love walks and I would really like two 30-40 minute walks daily. Having not been in a home environment before I’m not sure how I’ll feel about being left on my own, however I settle nicely in my kennel and enjoy a good nap.
