Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Achilles is a 10 month old German Shorthaired Pointer.

He would make a great hunting companion if given the chance, has great natural instincts and drive. He loves to cuddle either with humans or any other pets!

He has separation anxiety which is why he would benefit from a home where someone is either working from home, spends a great deal of time at home and has the time to train him.

He knows commands but he is stubborn as he tends to focus on the other pets at all times rather than the humans, we believe we would benefit from being an only pet for the time being for training purposes but he has not met a dog he did not like.

He cannot go home where there are felines or any small animals perceived as prey as his hunting instincts are always on. Achilles still needs more training as he is learning not to nip which is why we believe a home with children 12+ older would be better. He's a big chewer, especially on split antler treats and bones but needs supervision if alone
