ROLLIE
ROLLIE is a jolly boy since he was released from his Midwest breeder. He was used as a stud dog, bred to produce puppies for profit, caged outside with no human socialization or knowing what being loved meant. He is 8 years old, born October 7, 2017 and this was a long time to have to live in fear. Rollie is very sweet, gentle and welcomes petting and behind the ear scratches. He is friendly but quiet and is getting accustomed to his new world and safe environment. He weighs 24 pounds and is so strikingly handsome, gorgeous rich colors and these soulful eyes that speak to you. He will walk on a leash but easily spooked by a noise or anything unfamiliar to him. Rollie is very curious but cautious, loves to watch what I am doing, lets me pick him up, kiss him and touch him everywhere and he is cooperative and calm for any task. Rollie is fine with other dogs and loves playing and running in the yard with the gang. He has the biggest smile on his face and seems to thrive with other dogs around. All in all, Rollie is just super sweet, mellow Welsh boy who wants to be pampered. He actually travels very well in the car and seemed to like it. He sleeps through the night in a nice doggie bed and is very easy to fall in love with. He is a talker and makes a lot of grumbles and noises to himself – rather cute to watch him talk to himself. Rollie will be a loyal companion and fun friend who will turn heads with his magnificent looks and personality.
ROLLIE is recovering quickly from his surgeries on the 11th at WFTRM Chicago. His full blood panel returned normal. He was neutered, had a full dental with no extractions and the lump on his back removed and sent out for biopsy. It was harder than the typical lipoma and the biopsy returned as a benign lump made up of fat and collagen. Next up get the stitches out. Rollie is such a wonderful boy, loving, a bit shy until he warms up but truly a momma’s boy. Loves to be with me, cries to be next to me, and enjoys just lounging and watching me on the computer. He is happy as a clam to help me raking leaves and yard work, runs zoomies with the biggest smile on his face and returns to see if I need help with that leaf pile. He is fascinated with the possum hole that leads under the barn. Rollie has his tail up and wagging every morning. He had such a good time in the yard with some of the other dogs – very friendly and playful. Will be doing a video soon. He needed time to adjust from his former breeding stud to then confusing change of events. I am convinced that the puppy mill that released him did not have him long at all. Probably purchased to use as a stud dog from another breeder and possibly one with higher standards. He probably did not like being outside in a plywood rabbit hutch style cage on stilt. He will bark and bark if he hears a noise at night or is scared. Rollie you voiced your concerns and it was your lucky day. The Welsh from this Midwest puppy mill all look like Bruno – big and wooly, handed over in dreadlocks, filthy, horrible teeth and condition, not microchipped. Rollie came groomed, very good condition, very handsome, teeth were not that bad and chipped with an AKC microchip – unregistered. Rollie loves being in the house, he knows stairs and runs up and down, very well behaved and mannered and such a sweet and gentle boy. His Forever Home will be blessed with a magical Christmas gift with this gorgeous Welsh Terrier boy.
