Personality:
Gimlet is bringing brains, bounce and a cheeky little attitude! This energetic young man has plenty of personality packed into one very enthusiastic package. Showing all the typical shepherd traits, Gimlet loves to run, play and keep himself busy, but he also has a lovely ability to tune into his people when they're interacting with him. He's an intelligent boy with a great food drive and a seriously impressive nose for sniffing out treats. Clever, curious and always ready for his next adventure, there's never a dull moment with Gimlet around!
Tamariki – 16+ as he needs to learn good oundaries and manners.
Cats – He was uninterested in the shelter cat. Slow and careful intros needed.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialisation needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 6.5kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Gimlet is looking for an active, experienced home that can keep his clever brain ticking and channel all that youthful energy into something productive. Shepherd experience would be a big bonus, as this boy can be a little headstrong and sassy, but with the right guidance, structure and ongoing training, he'll be an incredibly rewarding dog to work with. He'll need plenty of socialisation, enrichment and opportunities to learn, explore and put those brains to good use. He's 0% couch potato and 100% adorable, so if you're after a laid-back lounge buddy, keep scrolling!
Gimlet is ready to find his person, his next big adventure and someone willing to keep those clever paws busy!
