  • Male
  • Good with children

  • Pukekohe Adoption and Education Centre

Personality:

 

Martini is a big puppy with an even bigger love for cuddles! This soft, sweet boy absolutely adores attention and would happily soak up all the pats, affection and fussing you can give him. He's still finding his feet when it comes to good manners and can be a little enthusiastic with his puppy antics, but he's a clever lad with a fantastic food drive, which gives us plenty to work with when it comes to learning new skills. With consistency, patience and plenty of tasty rewards, he's got all the ingredients to become a very well-mannered gentleman.

 

Martini has had entropian surgery on his eyes. This was due to the skin rolling in and causing eye irritation. The sutures will come out in 10 days and hiseyes should be as good as new if not better!

 

Tamariki – 10+ while he learns his manners.
Cats – No cats. 

Kūri – Boisterous, needs ongoing training.
Stock/poultry – Seems uninterested in chickens. Would need careful intros. 
Size – Currently 16.8kgs. Likely to mature large in size.

 

Ideal home:

 

Martini is looking for a fun, social and active home where he can get out, explore and experience all the good things life has to offer. He'll need someone committed to continuing his training, teaching him some polite manners and helping him navigate his social interactions with other dogs. He can be a little forward with his play invitations and sometimes expects everyone to be just as excited as he is, so ongoing dog socialisation and guidance will help him learn to read the room and keep those puppy friendships on the right track.

 

Martini is ready to trade kennel life for couch cuddles, adventures and a lifetime supply of being told he's a good boy!
