Personality:
Apricot is the kind of puppy who wants to be wherever her people are, preferably curled up in your lap with tiny puppy teeth gently nibbling away at your fingers while she watches the world go by. She is a soft natured, slightly shy girl who is still figuring life out, but behind that cautious little face is a puppy desperate to love and be loved. Toys are fine, but human attention will win every single time.
Tamariki – Any age provided proper introductions and supervision.
Cats – Confident cats only.
Kūri – Dog friendly, though she will need continued socialisation.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 3.1kg and likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Apricot is looking for a patient home that understands she is still finding her feet. She will need ongoing confidence building, gentle guidance, and positive experiences to help her grow into a happy, secure dog. Her training and socialisation are already underway, and she will need a home committed to continuing that work as she grows. With the right support, she is going to blossom into a beautiful companion.
If you are looking for a sweet little shadow who will happily trade toys for cuddles, Apricot might just be your perfect match.
