| AUSTIN Austin is a purebred male Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. His DOB is 6/18/09 Austin is a owner turn-in. Below is some information from them: Our reasons for finding him a new home are mainly that he is extremely hyper, which I realize is a Wheaten trait, but too much for our family. We have 3 young children. Also he is aggressive toward other animals. He nips and jumps on the children constantly. I believe it is puppy playful, but it is still irritating to say the least. Austin is undersocialized with other dogs and reacts inappropriately around them. He will need a home where he is the only pet and will need socialization and obedience training. We will require obedience training as a condition of adoption with this puppy. He is good with people but due to his lack of training and over exuberance we will only consider homes with children over 12 for this puppy. Update Austin has come a long, long way since coming into Rescue. We have spent a lot of time working with him on his issues and he is now socializing and playing well with other dogs in the Rescue. On leash he does still occasionally get overly excited and lunge and act inappropriately to other dogs. He went to the Wheaten Meetin' this weekend and did very, very well with all the other dogs. With continued training and socialization we are confidant he will be a well adjusted Wheaten who gets along with lots of other dogs! Austin is neutered and up to date on shots. |
