Babet is an energetic and playful male Lurcher cross who joined our care as an unclaimed stray. Due to him being a stray, we do not have any background information for him, therefore his assessment has been soley based on his time spent at the sanctuary.

When Babet first arrived he was underweight and struggling with a deformity to one of his toes which subsequently meant that he had to have it removed. This does not affect Babet and will not cause him any future issues. He is now at an ideal weight and certainly ready to find his forever home.

A ball of energy, Babet loves zooming around the training paddock and can often be found tearing around with his fellow Lurcher friends. However, due to his high energy levels, he can sometimes become over-stimulated, especially during moments of excitement, and may jump up or mouth at his handler. Due to this, Babet would be best suited to a home where any children in the household are aged 10 and over as his energetic nature may be overwhelming for younger children.

Once Babet has settled with a handler, he is affectionate and loves initiating fuss and attention. He’s friendly and confident around new people, making him an easy companion to meet and greet unfamiliar faces. He walks well on a harness and lead but, due to his high prey drive, he is not suitable for off-lead walking.

Babet has successfully completed a muzzle training program, and now comfortably wears a muzzle when out and about to ensure the safety of other animals. He is sociable with other dogs he encounters, greeting them respectfully, and he has the potential to share his home with another high-energy dog, pending successful meets at the sanctuary. However, Babet is not suitable for a home with cats or small furries.

This lively boy requires a safe and secure garden with boundaries of at least 6 feet to play in, and he has a strong love for soft and squeaky toys.

Very food-oriented, Babet will thrive with a slow feeder to prevent him from eating too quickly. He is familiar with basic commands but will benefit from additional training to help him reach his full potential.
