Kujo is a young male Dobermann approximately 12 months old. On entering rescue he weighed 11.5 kg from an adult weight of between 33 – 37 kg. His current weight is 25.5 kg.
At the moment Kujo is on 3 meals a day. Because he was starved, food is very exciting for him; both his own and human food.
His favourite place is to be curled up next to someone. He is very loving, although he is still mouthing and does jump up, so he needs to learn how to control himself. He can be very vocal. He is learning Off, Leave, Come, Sit and Toilet and is pretty much housetrained.
His recall is getting better, but is not 100% and so he is still on a harness and long line. Kujo needs a lot of exercise and would benefit from having a large garden to run around in. He is very strong on the lead.
Kujo is still chewing and needs to have a wide variety of strong chew toys (i.e. a black Kong) that he can play with, and that will provide him with mental stimulation.
Kujo would be better in an experienced adult home without other animals, although if carefully introduced he may be able to live with an older, calm bitch. He does not like cats or birds.
Kujo can become defensive and frustrated around other dogs, and will quickly work himself into a frenzy, which results in him redirecting his frustration to other things, for example the lead. This will require careful, expert handling and work, and Kujo may need to be introduced to a muzzle.
Kujo is up to date with his vaccinations, flea and worm treated, spayed, micro chipped and will have six weeks free insurance with Pet Plan.
