Personality:
This playful girl is always ready for a good time and loves nothing more than getting her favourite people involved in the fun. Tag, balls and chew toys are all firm favourites, and she is not shy about letting you know when she thinks playtime should begin! She is affectionate, full of personality and has a wonderful ability to switch from energetic play mode to cuddle mode. Once she has had her fun, she is very happy to crash beside her favourite people for a well earned nap.
Tamariki – Dog savvy kids preferred as he can still be a little boisterous.
Cats – No cats.
Kūri – Friendly but no manners. More socialisation needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 11.3kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
She is looking for a family who will keep her busy with plenty of play, enrichment and positive training. She has a high prey drive, so ongoing training and socialisation will be important to help her learn how to channel those instincts appropriately. The good news is that she has fantastic focus when it comes to toys and play, giving her family something wonderful to work with. She is a bright, engaging girl who will thrive with people who enjoy having a dog that wants to be involved in everything.
If your idea of the perfect afternoon involves a game of tag, a few flying balls and a cuddly nap afterwards, this playful little girl might just be your perfect match.
