Cosmo is looking for a new home with Beagle or hound experience. It must have a garden and not be in a busy area – no flats please. He would prefer to have company throughout the day.

Cosmo’s new owners should be willing to continue his training and do scentwork with him as Cosmo really enjoys it. He has gone to scentwork and mantrailing classes before and loved them. Cosmo loves going for long walks where he can sniff around and he particularly loves the woods.

Cosmo enjoys being made a fuss of but is also fine to get on with his own thing – on walks, he is normally focussed on good sniffs rather than saying hello to people. He prefers the company of adults and teenagers. Cosmo gets on well with other dogs and likes to play chase. He gets on well with larger dogs in particular. Cosmo is okay on the lead but does pull; he usually has an extendable lead. His recall is okay if he knows there are treats, but he is normally kept on the lead in unfamiliar areas or where he might pick up a tracking scent.

Cosmo is fine to be left alone for a few hours and does not seem to have separation anxiety, but he is not used to being left for long. Cosmo typically does not bark at things. He is good at travelling by car. He has been to the groomers and boarding kennels before and done well in both.

Cosmo is happy to snooze throughout the day after a morning walk and some time in the garden. In the late afternoon and evening, he enjoys some play time and a walk. (If there are teenagers in the home, they should be willing to play with him!)

At the end of a long day of sniffs, Cosmo enjoys cuddling up on the sofa with his family. He is very cuddly and enjoys being around people and being part of a pack.

Please apply for Cosmo if you think you have the best home for him.
