Meet Titch

Titch is a loving, affectionate boy who adores being close to his humans and snuggling up on the sofa. He’s settled beautifully with a neutered male basset and a neutered female cocker in foster, forming gentle bonds with both. Early on, he showed some persistent romantic behaviour toward the female cocker, likely due to anxiety around the move — but this eased within a week and is now occasional and easily managed.

Titch has shown no signs of aggression; quite the opposite. He’s friendly, polite, and full of joy. He’s also very active and thrives on long off-lead walks, often covering up to six miles a day.

​​

Energy & Exercise

Titch is an active dog who loves to be out and about. He’s happy walking for two to three hours, but he’s not demanding — his fosterer feels he’d be fine with less, provided he gets at least one hour of off-lead exercise each day. He enjoys roaming and scenting in a predictable pattern and would love to be in a home that has lots of outdoor adventures.​

 

Training

Titch has reliable recall off-lead and responds immediately to his name — except when ducks are involved! He once chased ducks into a pond and ignored recall until they flew away. His loose lead walking still needs some work, as he tends to pull, but he’s not particularly strong and is easy to manage.​

 

Medical

Titch has no ongoing health concerns. He’s been neutered and has previously had a dental procedure.

 

Behaviour

There are no concerning behaviours. Titch occasionally shows romantic interest in female dogs, but this settles as he becomes more comfortable. He’s slightly nervous when being harnessed, and he sometimes responds to electronic beeps (like microwaves) with brief scenting behaviour — a harmless and interesting quirk but not an issue.

Dog & Cat Interaction

Titch behaves impeccably around other dogs on walks, generally ignoring them unless approached. In the home, he’s built positive relationships with both resident dogs, thanks in part to their calm and tolerant nature.

He hasn’t been tested with cats in foster, but his previous owner reported barking at cats through the window. He has pulled on the lead when spotting a cat, so it’s likely he would chase if given the chance.​

 

People & Children

Titch is friendly and well-mannered when meeting new people, both out on walks and in the home. He greets calmly and enjoys gentle attention.

He has previously lived with children aged 2 and 15 and behaved perfectly around them. In foster, he’s encountered younger children on walks but hasn’t taken any notice of them.​

 

Travel

He travels well in the car, sitting calmly on the back seat with a dog seatbelt. He’s a relaxed passenger and doesn’t show signs of stress during journeys.

​​

Grooming & Handling

Titch is easy to handle and groom. He’s slightly nervous when his harness or collar is being put on, but settles once it’s in place. This was also noted by his previous owner and is a minor observation.​

 

Food

Titch is very food motivated and will eat almost anything, so care is needed during walks to prevent scavenging. In foster, he’s been fed a mix of raw food and kibble, though his previous owner fed kibble only.

 

Sleeping

Titch sleeps soundly through the night. He sleeps in the same room as his fosterer, curled up on his blanket beside the bed.

​

Ideal Home

Titch would thrive in a family home where his people have time to keep him active and engaged. A rural setting with space to roam and scent would suit him perfectly, and regular off-lead walks will keep him happy and healthy. He’s equally content snuggling on the sofa in the evenings — and his new family certainly won’t be short of Titch cuddles.
