PASCAL - DDB

Pascal is a male DDB about 2 years old

He was a very skinny stray but has now put on a lot of weight, been castrated and had his vaccinations

He is easy to train with food reward

Pascal is an extremely large boy

A little wary of strangers but would think in a home this would settle but easy to get around with food

He will have a full assessment as soon as possible

Hopefully photos up tomorrow

Ok here are a few pictures of the big man Pascal, not sure about the name but hey, dog is great





Be quick on this one before the dog trainer snaps him up again

I am in love. Fact ooh if only I had more space....!

He is nice isn't he and very big

he is a stunner, in rescue !! omg .. wont be in for long ...

Walked this beautiful boy today and what a dream he is. He fell in beside me and patiently waited when asked to, ignoring the cars, vans and motorbikes that passed. He loved fuss and was happy to approach my son for an ear rub.
He could do with building up his stamina as he was shattered by half way round!!!

I saw him Saturday. He really is a very handsome boy.

what a stunner......
how on earth do these dogs end up in rescue!!

OM Goodness what a stunning boy he is. What a smooshy face he has

Gorgeous

D

I can't stop looking at this handsome boy.

He is handsome isn't he

We wanted to have his assessment done by now but so far only got half way through it been a bit busy to concentrate on it unfortunately but hope to have it done by Friday

He went out on the group walk last night and was happy to trot along with the other dogs, although I think he might be a bit protective of the home with strangers once introduced loves everyone and in the street fantastic but he will bark if someone he does not know goes upto his kennel, as soon as the door is open and he comes out he is fine and just want a fuss

He is lush!

The girls are the same, if anyone is at the door they aren't happy yet as soon as the door is open they're daft buggers!

I can't wait to hear how his assessment goes. I don't think you'll be graced with his presence for long, thats for sure!

Why did he come into you? He's pulling on my heartstrings...

He was a skin and bone stray believe it or not, somebody once though did love this boy

Pascal as per the breed characteristics seems to make strong attachments very quickly. He is very playful and over excitement can lead Pascal to become frisky. Pascal is wary of new people coming into the home and will growl but once he knows they should be there and ok he becomes friendly. All these behaviours were shown at the time of this assessment conducted by Shaun Aldridge (Ruff Diamond Dog Training); however these behaviours may change in different circumstances.

What a stunning ginger Rottweiler, if only I had the time ,space and fully functioning body . I'd certainly be after this boy.

Pascal has visitors over the next couple of days keep your fingers crossed for him

everything crossed for you Pascal , hope you get to go to your forever home soon

Merry Christmas Aunty Sharon and all your helpers,
Hi everybody, hope you like the photo of me under the Xmas tree at my new house. I have had a great year, first I came to live with you for a bit and then I got these new owners who I have managed to train very well, they now take care of my every need, bed by the radiator, food twice a day and big walks in the countryside, life couldn't be much better really. I want to say a very big thanks to YOU because if it wasn't for you and all your hard work (and your helpers of course) well I dread to think of what would have happened to me , so thank you very much xxxxx
We hope that you have a fantastic Christmas and a very happy new year, keep up the good work
