I've found this dog right in front of the entrance to my house (in a barrio cerrado, near Pilar) about 6 weeks ago.
I placed signs everywhere, browsed extensively internet, contacted local vets & shelters = the owners can't be found.
I won't be able to keep him since I already have 4 dogs, feeding an additional 2 from the street and because he's a male and I have already two males.
Like said he's a male, about 4/5 years (according to the vet. I'd say rather 5), perfectly healthy.
His character :
. quite independant but is looking for affection too. He is quite dominant with my other males (like "let me tell you that this is my water from nowon") but is not agressive (he just goes "grrrrr", nevertheless my males got tired and they fought two weeks ago : my dogs are twice the size of the beagle hence I'm afraid he would lose an eye or something).
. with humans he is absolutely lovely, I can take his food while he's eating. It's obvious he got raised among children because a friend came over with her little girl and he was standing by her and would not let my dogs approach her (!).
. the major CON about him : he's a runaway dog, like any hunting dog, but in his case I've never seen a dog like this. If I lock him in the kitchen, he jumps on the bench, opens the sliding window (4 ft above the ground) and manages to sneak in-between the window bars to jump out !!! I know this sounds unbelievable (I'll try to catch him on video & post it on Youtube, it should become popular!). Also, if I let him out of the garden in the street and if he decides to start running, don't expect him to stop, he'll keep on running (liberty, liberty !). Therefore if you have a terrace with bars which have a space in-between of 8 inches or more, this will be a dangerous situation since he will jump from the terrace for sure (and he likely doesn't know how to fly).
. He is damn smart, maybe too much and would do anything to catch food (go on the table, jump from the table to the kitchen desk and so on... This is amazing but can prove annoying with time).
Another CON : this is quite normal since this is a new house for him, but expect him to make little pees everywhere the first week in order to flag his territory.
So, to summarize, he's a lovely dog, nice with kids, not agressive at all but quite dominant with other males, he runs away when he's given the opportunity, damn smart (opens sliding windows), perfectly healthy.
I'm looking for responsible people (he's not a toy) and in the worst case I'll place an ad on mercadolibre (asking for money in order to get rid of the potential bozos).
He can be shown 40 mins away from BA (Zona Norte in a gated community) or eventually I can rent a car and bring him to BA.
