Personality:
Dutchess is the kind of girl who may take a moment to decide you are worth her time, but once she does, prepare yourself for maximum sooky cuddles! Calm, happy and a little reserved at first, she warms up quickly and soon becomes a certified lap dog, happily settling in close for some quality human time.
She has a wonderfully sweet nature and a few adorable quirks, including her love of nose booping her tennis ball. Because really, why chase a ball normally when you can give it a little greeting first?
Tamariki – Any age provided correct intros and supervision.
Cats – Ok with correct intros and training.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialisation needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 7.3kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Dutchess would happily fit into most homes and will thrive with ongoing training, socialisation and plenty of enrichment to keep her clever little mind busy. She is the perfect mix of easy going companion and certified couch potato, with just enough sass to keep things interesting.
Looking for a couch companion with excellent cuddle credentials? Dutchess is accepting applications.
