Personality:
Etna is a gentle, soft hearted girl who has fully embraced her role as a professional couch companion and belly rub enthusiast. She has a lovely calm nature and absolutely adores human attention, often flopping onto her back and presenting her tummy like it is her full time job. Life for Etna is all about the quiet comforts, slow moments, and finding the best sunny snooze spot she can stretch out in for the day.
Tamariki – 10+ respectful kids as she prefers the calm, quiet life.
Cats – Interested to watch them but not enough to get up and follow.
Kūri – Social, prefers older dogs with similar energy levels.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 38.2kgs and is on a controlled weight loss diet.
Ideal home:
Etna is looking for a home with a slower, peaceful pace where she can truly relax and enjoy her golden years. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she is well past the puppy chaos and would prefer a gentle, respectful companion if she were to share her space, or she would be just as content soaking up all the love as the only dog in the home. Her ideal family will understand the joy of quiet companionship, soft beds and plenty of affection.
Queen of comfort, connoisseur of couch time, Etna is ready to rule your lounge.
