Personality:
Sussex is a vocal and chatty little girl with plenty to say and a real love for being involved in whatever her people are up to. Friendly and people orientated, she has a softer nature and seemingly lovely manners, happily soaking up attention whenever it comes her way. She is playful, curious and always keen to have a little explore, taking in the world around her and finding plenty of things worth investigating.
Tamariki – 10+ as she can be a bit vocal and bouncy when excited.
Cats – Should be ok with proper intros and supervision. Confident cats preferred.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socilisation required due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 5.7kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
She is looking for a home ready to embrace all the fun, chaos and questionable decision making that comes with raising a puppy. Puppy school, ongoing training and socialisation will be important to help Sussex grow into a confident and well mannered adult, while giving her clever and curious little brain plenty to do. From celebrating the small wins to laughing at the inevitable puppy antics, her new family will need to enjoy the journey as much as the destination and be ready to guide her through all the adventures of growing up.
Sussex has plenty of love, personality and conversation to bring to the right home. Who is ready to add a chatty little sidekick to their family?
