Lambros, the Setter we found abandoned in a village in the Peloponnese, is now with us, and his daily life has become calm and steady. He is in excellent health, cooperative, and very well balanced.
At home, he is truly wonderful. Clean, quiet, discreet, and very good on walks, he knows how to relax, how to sit close without demanding attention, and how to adapt easily to your rhythm. With people he is gentle and affectionate, and with other animals he is friendly. He is one of those dogs who make truly good company.
Considering that not long ago he was wandering alone through the streets of a village, tired and lost, this picture now feels far away. Lambros shows us every day how ready he is to trust again and how a dog who once “didn’t fit” can become a dog who finally gets to live the life he deserves.
Hunting dogs are often misunderstood. We tend to see them only through the roles they are expected to perform, with specific demands and performance. Yet when they find themselves in a home, many of them prove to be calm, sensitive, and deeply companionable dogs. Dogs who do not ask for much, but give a great deal.
Lambros is 3 years old and has his whole life ahead of him. A life that this time will not be measured in performance, but in moments, within a stable relationship, in a home.
