Kilara Oak (Clyde)

£0.00

Clyde

A bouncy bundle of fun with love to give.

Kilara Oak (Clyde) is a handsome brindle male looking for his forever home. At 5 years and 5 months old, he is a substantial lad weighing 37.4kg. Clyde is a very friendly, bouncy boy with a high energy level, making him a great match for an active owner. He is very strong and pulls on the lead, so he is looking for someone who can manage his enthusiasm. Despite his strength, he has a wonderful nature with people and is good with children, the elderly, and humans in general. He is selective with other dogs and has some reported reactivity to small dogs, so care and training will be needed in this area. He is already housetrained and travels well in the car, giving him a fantastic head start for settling into family life.

Clyde's Day Out

Clyde and I went for a trip out today, and he was excellent 😊.

I think he's been used to travelling in the boot, but I asked him to go in the back seat. He figured it out with no problem, though. He jumped in with his front legs and waited for me to lift his bottom in. He preferred to travel sitting up most of the time and enjoyed quietly looking through the window. He travelled well and was no trouble.

We went to the park first, where he saw lots of dogs! When he saw them, he was very interested but wasn't silly, and there was no barking or hard pulling. On a couple of occasions, he wanted to turn around to watch them but was easily encouraged to keep moving. He even stood quietly near a little fluffball of a dog while its owner asked me questions about Clyde and Home Run Hounds 😊.

Clyde saw children playing on swings and climbing frames, and he marched past without showing much interest. He was happy to be made a fuss of by one little girl, though.

Next, we got back in the car and drove to the pub! Purely so that Clyde could experience it, you understand 😁.

Again, he was the perfect gentleman. There was another dog there, a young Rottweiler. We walked past and sat at the other side of the room. Clyde decided that the oche for the darts looked like a good place to lie down, which was great. He then lay flat and ended up half on and half off it. It didn't look very comfortable, but Clyde seemed happy and even had a little snooze, bless him 😊.

When we were ready to leave, I wasn't at all convinced he'd want to get up, but he did! Off we went to my house to get him a drink of water, which he didn't want 🙄.

We had another little walk across a playing field and down a country lane before getting back to the car and heading home for Clyde.

He was a pleasure to take out, and I've had a lovely day. I think Clyde enjoyed it too 😊.

We took Clyde out on Monday to see how he got on outside of the kennels.

He did very well, considering we were in a quite dog-populated area with a group of friends, their children, and a Golden Retriever. When we slowly introduced the dogs, Clyde wasn’t vocally reactive, but he did lunge toward the retriever a couple of times. By the end of the walk (they were walked slightly apart), they ended up sitting in the pub with no issues.

Clyde does feel stronger on the lead than other greys we’ve walked, but he didn’t seem reactive toward dogs; he’d just pull toward them a bit. He was on his feet for most of the afternoon and seemed happy to do so.

He was a great passenger in the car (as someone has previously said, he gets himself partway into the car but needs his back legs lifting to get in). He was well-behaved in the beer garden, even with the retriever and a smaller dog barking at one another 🤭, showing them how to be a gentleman.

We think he’d benefit from some more time out of the kennels, which will help him start to get more and more used to the outside world.

Clyde's latest adventure:

I didn't have as much time today but I'd promised Clyde another outing so we went to the park. 😀

Getting in the car to go, Clyde couldn't wait! I'd only just got the door open and his front paws were in, just a little help needed to lift his bottom in and we were ready. 😀

Same as last time, he likes to sit or stand and look out of the window or between the front seats; he likes to see where we are going.

When we got there he was very happy to be out and about and he trotted along taking in the sights, sounds, and smells.

Unlike last time there were plenty of other dogs about. Clyde was interested and did pull on his lead, but there was no sign of lunging, barking, or growling and he was easy to pull away and set off walking again.

There was a little cream dog that wanted to play and came very close, as you will see in the video, Clyde was excellent. 😀

We stood and watched the other dogs for a little while and Clyde was fine even when some were running around.

Going home he lay down in the back of the car and when we got back he enjoyed a lovely brush and a well-deserved pamper. ❤️
