This guy has a high, unpredictable prey drive with the above species and as such I would strongly recommend a home without them. He needs an experienced owner familiar with the requirements of the breed, this guy needs a job and he would excel at obedience and agility once skeletally mature. He is well-socialised with other dogs, fantastic with kids and has all his basic commands firmly in place when his prey drive isn't activated. Is housetrained and crate trained. I'm not rushing to re-home this guy, he needs the perfect forever home and I'm willing to wait for it if that's what needs to happen. If you would like to know more please PM me here. Thank you.

Thanks

I'm just talking about the application to the High Court to validate the will - not advising about who gets what, or the actual estate administration, which can be done separately. Thank you for any feedback or insights you can give.
