Personality:
Shy at first but full of curiosity, Dusky is slowly discovering that the world isn't such a scary place after all. He has a playful side that shines once he feels comfortable and absolutely adores people, cuddles, and belly rubs. While he can be a little sooky and unsure at times, he responds beautifully to gentle encouragement and is looking for a family who will help him grow in confidence. He is also great at entertaining himself, happily spending time with his collection of chew toys between snuggles.
Tamariki – 10+ as he builds confidence.
Cats – Confident cats only.
Kūri – Friendly. needs ongoing socialisation.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 10.1kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Dusky will suit most homes that are ready to invest in puppy school, ongoing training, and plenty of positive socialisation. Like all puppies, he will need patience, guidance, and consistency as he navigates the ups and downs of growing up. In return, you'll gain a loyal little mate who will reward your love and effort with endless affection and plenty of happy tail wags.
This little heart is just waiting for someone to believe in him, could that be you? 🐾🤎
