About Dustin

This handsome Wheaten boy is looking for a home with another doggy companion in the countryside. No negative comments please: This is Dustin, our 22-month neutered Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. He has a soft, golden, non-shedding coat. I always thought Dustin and I would grow old together, so writing this breaks my heart. We’re rehoming him because our home is surrounded by fields with horses, and he’s become fixated on them. Every opportunity he gets he is in the fields rounding them up, putting both him and the horses at risk. For the last six months we have tried everything, but nothing can match his herding instinct. The space is too big to fence in, and building a pen and keeping him penned up while all the neighbouring dog friends play freely would be no life for such a sociable boy. He deserves somewhere he can run safely. Dustin’s recall is good but when it comes to the horses he is deaf and will not come back . He is going to get himself in trouble. Dustin is joyful, affectionate and full of character. He’s wonderful with children, loves everyone he meets, and is happiest playing with other dogs. He adores woodland walks, beach runs, car trips and the postman (who brings him biscuits!). He’s housetrained, knows lots of tricks, and is a champion cuddler. What I am hoping for: 1. A home with a doggy companion to play with. I think he would make a wonderful younger brother. 2. A large, secure garden away from livestock and with no access to traffic. Dustin is fully vaccinated, neutered and his vet records are available which show he’s prone to itchy paws, this is very manageable.
