Personality:
Darwin is a happy, playful girl who is still discovering what it means to be a dog. She doesn’t really know what toys are or how to play yet, but she absolutely loves attention, cuddles and being close to her people. Everything is new for this sweet girl, so she is understandably still building her confidence and has lots to learn. With some patience, encouragement and plenty of love, she is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion.
Tamariki – Any age provided proper intros and supervision.
Cats – Ok with cats with supervision and training.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialisation needed due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 2.95kgs. likely to mature medium - large in size.
Ideal home:
Darwin would fit into most homes and can live with dog-savvy kids of any age who will adore her and help her grow in size and confidence. Puppy school, ongoing positive training and plenty of safe socialisation will be really important for her as she learns about the world and builds her confidence. She’s a gorgeous, fluffy girl with a lovely nature and so much potential, just waiting for someone to show her how wonderful life can be.
If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet girl who is just getting started, little miss Darwin would love to meet you.
