Personality:
Twyla Sands is a little bundle of sweetness with a serious talent for cuddling! This gorgeous girl is the true definition of a cuddle bug and thinks there is no better place to be than curled up in your lap, soaking up all the love. Of course, she is still small enough to fit comfortably, but we suspect she has plans to keep that spot as she grows! Twyla also loves a good game of chase and has a particular fondness for soft toys, especially when someone is holding them and joining in the fun. Playing on her own? Well, that is nowhere near as exciting! She can sometimes need a little reassurance when something new feels a bit scary, but she is quick to find her feet again with some gentle encouragement and a little confidence boost.
Tamariki – 5+ as she can still be a little uncomfortable with handling.
Cats – No cats, will chase.
Kūri – Friendly but ongoing socialisation needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 13.8kgs. Likely to mature large to XL.
Ideal home:
As she grows into the beautiful girl she is destined to be, Twyla will benefit from ongoing training, puppy school, plenty of enrichment and some thoughtful boundaries to help her learn all the important life skills. She would love a family who has the time to include her in their adventures, encourage her confidence and make learning part of everyday life. With plenty of cuddles, playtime and guidance along the way, Twyla has all the makings of a wonderful companion who will bring a whole lot of love and laughter to her new home.
Twyla is ready to trade shelter cuddles for couch cuddles! Could you be her favourite lap, playmate and forever person?
