This big, beautiful, tan dog is Reg, he has a short soft coat and is estimated to be about 4 years old. We think he is likely to be a Spanish Bulldog Mastin cross.
He is very well-behaved and good walking on a lead. Great with people and children but not cat tested yet. He is a strong dog, who has not been badly treated but has not lived in a house. Thankfully, he was not tied or shackled but spent his time free on a Cortijo with company mostly at weekends. He is a good-natured boy, and there are video clips showing his behaviour and comportment.
Considering he has had no training, he walks well on a harness. He has not had the company of other dogs, but we have tested to the best of our ability his reactions to other dogs, and he seems to behave well, but is dominant. A video is available showing him with other dogs. He has not been tested with cats and we suggest that he not be homed with them as a caution. He is happy with children, but because of his weight and strength, this has to be taken into account, there is video showing his behaviour with children.
He is fit and well, is fully laboratory blood tested negative to Leishmaniosis and other Mediterranean diseases, he is fully vaccinated, microchipped and prepared ready to travel, when he has a permanent home to come to.
We need an experienced owner with larger Bull Breeds for lovely Reg, and a decent sized garden. Due to his size, we want older children although he has been very good with younger ones in foster.
His Best Points :
Good with people and older children.
Foster Report :
He needs space and we feel he would thrive best as an only dog. He is a dog who would enjoy training, he is quick to learn and very eager to please, and is fostered by a loving and caring home but is in a kennel most of the time, and due to lack of time, cannot enjoy the walks he so badly needs.

Adopting A DogWatch UK Rescue Dog
Before being adopted, dogs will have been vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas.
If old enough they will have been neutered, if too young the new owners will need to ensure this is done.
All dogs are microchipped
All new owners can apply for 4 weeks Pet Insurance FREE, to apply please ask us for the pamphlet, our charity reference number is 1400005179.
All new owners will need to change their new dogs microchip information to their contact details. This costs £17. If you would like us to arrange this for you, at a reduced rate of £7.20, we will ask you to do a bank transfer to allow us to register the change.
For Rescue Dogs coming from overseas
This adoption fee is a contribution towards the costs of rescuing the dog including
– microchip, pet passport, vaccines, tests for South European diseases, neutering (IF OLD ENOUGH), parasite treatment and transport to the UK.
We can not home dogs from overseas to people who work full time or long hours, unless some sort of doggy day care is offered. They need someone at home a lot of the day, they are not used to being alone for long periods. A dog walker for an hour out of the day is not enough.
Leaving dogs a long time on their own means they are highly likely to develop separation anxiety which is distressing for them and everyone in their new home.
