Personality:
Paloma has two rules in life: if it fits in his mouth, it's fair game, and if something is happening, he absolutely needs to be part of it! This busy little boy has a big personality and absolutely no intention of missing out on the action. Confident, outgoing and just a little bit cheeky, Paloma likes to keep himself entertained and everyone else on their toes. He's curious about the world, keen to investigate everything within reach and always ready to turn an ordinary day into a little adventure. There's never a dull moment with this lad around, and his cheeky antics are guaranteed to keep you smiling!
Tamariki – 10+ as he needs to learn his manners and is going through a puppy mouthy phase.
Cats – Confident cat required as he wants to play with them and not all cats will appreciate this.
Kūri – Friendly. Needs ongoing socialisation.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently a 3.1kg ball of energy. Expected to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Paloma will thrive with an experienced owner who has previous bull or pitty breed experience and is ready for all the fun that comes with raising a spirited little character. An active home with plenty of training, enrichment and opportunities to keep his busy brain occupied will be important, along with good structure and clear boundaries. Another well suited doggy friend to help show him the ropes could be a lovely bonus. He might not be the easiest puppy in the bunch, but with the right guidance, patience and commitment, the rewards will be enormous.
Paloma is ready to bring a little chaos, a lot of laughs and a whole heap of love to his forever home. Could you be his perfect match?
