Personality:
This fun loving, energetic little pup is full of beans and ready for action. He loves his toys and is perfectly happy entertaining himself, but he also enjoys being around people and getting involved in interactive play. Naturally curious, he can be easily distracted by an interesting sound or movement in the distance and off he toddles to investigate. He is bright, playful and already responding to his sit command, showing wonderful potential for learning and training. Could he be your next obedience superstar?
Tamariki – Any age provided proper intros and supervision.
Cats – Has a sniff then wanders off. Should be ok with proper intros and training.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialisation required due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 3kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
He is looking for an active family who understands that a clever young dog needs plenty of guidance, structure and opportunities to learn. Puppy school, ongoing training and regular socialisation will be important as he grows, helping him develop good manners, confidence and the skills to navigate the world around him. His breed and nature suggest he is an intelligent boy who will thrive when given a job to do, whether that is learning new tricks, practising obedience, exploring new places or enjoying enrichment games at home. His new family should be ready to put the time into keeping his body exercised and his clever little mind occupied, while also teaching him when it is time to settle and relax.
This little man has plenty of love, mischief and potential packed into one adorable pup. Now all he needs is someone to help him grow into the very best boy he can be.
