Someone I know has a one year old cocker spaniel bitch (spayed) which is tan and black and KC registered. The couple work (he works shifts) so the dog is on her own quite a lot and because of this chews things that she finds lying around, including table legs
Because of this, they have been putting her in a cage while she is on her own which has been solving the chewing problem, however she has not been getting enough exercise or entertainment while they are at home and has turned into quite an unhappy dog.
Last week, the male owner was putting the dog back into its cage after he found it chewing something else (he had been on nights and trying to sleep) and the dog turned around and bit his finger quite hard. The couple are now concerned because they have an 8 year old little boy, and a baby on the way.
I cannot take the dog in because we already have an English Pointer and a Siamese. I do not want to introduce another dog into our house because our cat has had stress issues causing her to pluck out her fur which we have just sorted out and I do not want to cause her any more stress as do not know how this dog reacts to cats. Plus, our cat was here first and I really do not want to go back to her plucking herself, it simply would not be fair.
So, I have said to the owners that I will ask around to see whether anyone knows of someone/somewhere that takes in dogs like this. I think with regular exercise and not being left on her own as much she could be a very nice dog. She is incredibly loving and affectionate, and it very pretty too!
