Personality:
Dorper is a confident and easy going boy who adores attention and being around people. He has a curious mind and loves to explore, play, and enjoy adventures on his own as well. Friendly and outgoing, he is quick to make connections and brings a happy, playful energy wherever he goes. Dorper is the kind of dog who can be both your relaxed companion on quiet days and your fun partner for active adventures, always ready to share a wagging tail and a big heart.
Tamariki – 5+ as puppy mouthy and some minor food guarding behaviours.
Cats – Interested in cat and wanted to interact. Confident cat only with proper intro's and training.
Kūri – Friendly. Further socialisation required due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 3.35kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Dorper would thrive in an experienced home where he is given training, plenty of socialisation, and all the love he deserves. He will shine with someone who enjoys taking him on adventures, exploring parks, beaches, or just discovering new smells around the neighbourhood. Dorper would especially love a family who can match his curiosity and playful energy, someone who will celebrate his independent streak as much as his cuddly side and let him lead the way on little adventures. A home full of laughter, love, and a few spontaneous fun moments is where Dorper will truly belong.
Give Dorper your heart and he will return it tenfold with wagging tails, endless cuddles, and a lifetime of joyful adventures.
