Personality
Taffy is a sweet, gentle girl who is still discovering just how fun life can be. She’s starting to enjoy toys and playtime, and it’s been lovely watching her confidence grow each day.
One thing Taffy already knows for sure is that she loves other dogs. She enjoys playing with her canine friends and takes great comfort in learning from them, so she would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly dog companion to help show her the ropes.
Tamariki: Best suited to children aged 10+ while learning manners
Cats: Unsure
Other dogs: Would benefit from supervised doggie playtime and another dog in the household
Stock/Poultry: Unsure
Size: Medium when fully grown (approx. 15–20kg)
Ideal home
Taffy is working on her manners around food and will need an experienced owner who can provide clear boundaries, consistency, and positive reinforcement training. She’s a smart pup with lots of potential and should do very well with ongoing training in the right home.
Her ideal home life will be in a calm, experienced environment with older children who can respect her space and help her continue building confidence at her own pace.
If you’re looking for a lovely young dog to guide, encourage, and watch blossom into an amazing companion, Taffy could be your girl.
