Personality:
Kilimanjaro is a gentle soul who would choose people and pats over toys every single time. He absolutely thrives on human connection and is happiest simply being near his people, soaking up affection and quiet companionship.
While he enjoys attention, he is not demanding and is more than happy to quietly do his own thing nearby. Calm, independent and easy going, Kilimanjaro has a lovely steady nature that makes him a comforting presence to have around. He is the kind of dog who enjoys the simple things in life, a soft bed, a peaceful stroll and someone to share his day with.
Tamariki – 5+ as ca be a little startled with loud noises and sudden movements.
Cats – No cats.
Kūri – Shy but friendly, ongoing socialisation needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 8.25 kgs. Will likely mature small to medium in size.
Ideal home:
Kilimanjaro would suit an experienced home that understands the importance of patience, guidance and ongoing socialisation. He thrives on companionship and would love a home where he can be included as part of the family rather than left alone for long periods. Continued training, positive experiences and gentle encouragement will help this lovely boy continue to grow in confidence and shine.
Your couch called… it said Kilimanjaro would look perfect on it.
