Description

Billy est un chien âgé de 10 ans ayant gardé son cœur d'enfant. Billy aime particulièrement se coller, se faire gratter les oreilles et les fesses. Quand l'on est assis sur le divan, il n'a plus conscience de sa taille et vient se blottir sur nos jambes. Il n'a pas besoin de beaucoup d'activité physique, d'ailleurs les marches sont difficiles car il avance qu'avec des encouragements et des gâteries mais peu aisément faire du "sur place". Il aura besoin de se familiariser avec son environnement et aura besoin qu'on lui donne temps et patience.
Billy peut vivre avec les chats : il ne leur porte pas d'intérêt. Pour les chiens, a la marche, il ne leur porte pas non plus d'intérêt. Mr Billy ne jappe que lorsque quelqu'un arrive à la maison ou parfois lorsqu'il voit quelqu'un a la fenêtre.
Billy a pour habitude de se coucher autour de 21H et commence à venir roder autour de notre lit autour de 5-6H. Il est propre aussi. Il connait le assis, couche, laisse, donne la patte et commence a apprendre le "reste".
Billy ne fait pas de protection avec ses jouets ou sa nourriture. Toutefois, Billy a des impulsions au jeu pouvant mener à des morsures, par maladresse de sa part. Il est déconseillé par un éducateur, qu'il soit avec des enfants ou entourer de personnes pouvant provoquer le jeu dans sa perception a lui.
Billy est gourmand mais ne vient pas à la table quand on mange. Billy a des allergies (nous ne connaissons pas la cause) demandant de la médication et une nourriture hypo allergène.
Billy est un chien absolument merveilleux et aimant. Du a son âge, il a besoin d'un foyer calme, aimant et patient, pour lui permettre de vivre les dernières années qui lui reste.

Billy is a 10-year-old dog who has kept his puppy heart.
Billy especially loves to snuggle, have his ears and butt scratched. When you're sitting on the couch, he forgets his size and climbs onto your lap to cuddle. He doesn't need a lot of physical activity - in fact, walks are a challenge as he only moves forward with encouragement and treats, and he's quite good at just "standing still." He'll need time to get familiar with his environment, and lots of patience and care.

Billy can live with cats - he simply ignores them. As for other dogs, he also shows no interest when walking by them. Mr. Billy only barks when someone arrives at the house or occasionally when he sees someone through the window.

Billy usually goes to bed around 9 PM and starts wandering near the bed around 5-6 AM. He is house-trained. He knows how to sit, lie down, leave it, give his paw, and he's starting to learn "stay."

Billy doesn't guard his toys or his food. However, he can get overexcited during play and might bite accidentally due to clumsiness. A trainer has advised that he not be placed with children or with people who might trigger play in a way he misinterprets.

Billy is a foodie but doesn't beg at the table. He has allergies (the cause is unknown), which require medication and hypoallergenic food.

Billy is an absolutely wonderful and loving dog. Because of his age, he needs a calm, loving, and patient home to help him enjoy his remaining years in peace.
