Personality:
This happy little guy is an absolute sweetheart who will happily waddle along after you wherever you go. He is incredibly cuddly and people focussed, loves having space to run and play, and wasted no time racing over to a rope toy and proudly dragging it around. He is calm, clever and curious, with a lovely eagerness to please. He may get a little jumpy when he wants attention, but he responds beautifully to gentle guidance and is keen to learn and please.
Tamariki – 10+ due to confidence.
Cats – Sniffed and walked away. Should be ok with proper intros and training.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialisation required due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 2.2kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
An experienced home would be best to help this lovely boy build his confidence and come out of his shell. He can be fearful around loud noises and sudden movements, so confident handling and older children will suit him best. Ongoing training, puppy school and plenty of positive socialisation will help him grow into the happy, well rounded boy we know he can be.
This adorable little bug is ready to find his people, his safe place and a whole lot of love. Could you be the home he has been waiting for?
