Ozzy is a one-year-old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross who came to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in June 2007.  He is already neutered.  He was referred to the Behaviour Unit so we could further investigate his general character and his behaviour around other dogs.  He has heart-meltingly good looks, an endearing character and will make a wonderful pet for those willing to work on his training.

• Potential owners will need to have previous experience of high status dogs, males or females


• An adult-only household would be preferable for Ozzy, although a household with mature teens will also be considered depending on their expectations


• Ozzy will need a house with a garden for training purposes within a semi-rural or rural environment to work on his focus. He is a very active dog so owners will need the exercise facilities to match his requirements


• Future owners will initially need time to invest in his settling-in period, his routine and in building up a good relationship with him


• Ozzy responds very well to training and potential owners must be willing to follow an ongoing training programme


• Ozzy could live with a confident female dog who is able to contend with his physicality.

New owners will need to follow an ongoing training programme and be prepared to listen to and take advice from the Behaviour Unit. He will need a level of consistency in his life, but any work put into his routine and training will be rewarded many times over.  Ozzy is at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in London. Please call the Behaviour Unit on 02076277884 if you are interested in Ozzy, or email us on [email protected] and quote reference 2007/ 03229. Ozzy will need some further training in his new home.  To receive advice and guidance regarding this training from the Behaviour Unit staff that have worked with him, potential owners should be prepared to come into the Dogs Home for a minimum of two visits.
