If anyone has anything to say about Fontas’s nose, they are clearly being unfair. It is the camera lens that makes it look somewhat… well… generous in size. Because Fontas’s nose is beautiful, just like the rest of him. And if you look closely, you will notice a wonderful symmetry between his nose and his ears.
Fontas’s story is a familiar one. We do not know it for certain, but we can guess: a hunting dog who did not perform “properly” and was abandoned to his fate. Later he was caught, only to be abandoned again at the municipal kennel of Krestena, tied up, hungry and skeletal. Until his luck finally changed and he came to our shelter.
Fontas is a great character. Dignified, balanced and steady. Although he is a hunting dog, he is not restless or nervous. He has energy and enthusiasm, but he knows how to manage them. He wants to sniff everything, yet he does not get stuck on a scent or insist on following it no matter what. He is social and enjoys contact with people. He is patient, willing to cooperate and eager to learn. He also gets along well with other dogs.
If you are a true admirer of a dog’s nose and ears, and if you are looking for a companion to walk with and enjoy the outdoors, the sun and nature, then Fontas might be the perfect dog for you.
