Lets start with Scruff's history, his mother's a Samoyd and father a German Shepherd cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Quite a mix!  He arrived at Battersea Dogs Home in August 2004  when he was 3 months old.

Owners will need to spend time teaching Scruff to relax and help him calm down and think in new situations.

• Hands on experience of Samoyed or Husky types is essential. Knowledge of these breeds is necessary to understand the commitment of living with his vocals.


• Scruff would suit an active outdoor home with robust and energetic owners.


• Ideally placed in a mature adult household.


• Scruff will not be suitable to live with children.


• Scruff could live with another dog but the match needs to be right. It would be ideal for him to live with a mature adult dog that has a calm confident nature and can give Scruff some guidance.


• Neighbours need to be considered due to the noise he makes, so he should preferably be rehomed to a rural environment.


• Scruff is not suitable to live with cats

Scruff has some great qualities, his age leaves him open to training and his enthusiasm for life is contagious.
