Personality:
King Triton is a happy go lucky boy with a big personality and plenty of fun up his sleeve! He loves his toys, enjoys a good bit of rough and tumble play and takes great pride in de stuffing soft toys whenever the opportunity arises. He has a few typical small dog traits he is working on, including jumping up when he is excited for attention, but then he pulls out his ridiculously adorable 'sit pretty' when he thinks treats might be involved. It is very hard to say no to that face!
Tamariki – 10+ as he is still refining his manners.
Cats – Confident cats needed with proper intros.
Kūri – Interested to meet. proper intros needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 6.6kgs and is fully grown.
Ideal home:
King Triton is looking for a home with previous dog ownership experience and people who will continue the training the team have started with him. He needs kind, consistent boundaries, ongoing training and socialisation, along with plenty of love and his absolute favourite thing, neck scratches! He can be a powerhouse on lead and will happily pull when he decides he has somewhere important to be, so someone confident who can manage this and continue working with him would be ideal. In return, you will get a fun loving, playful little character who will keep you laughing and never let life be boring.
Ready for a little more chaos, cuddles and character in your life? King Triton is waiting to make a splash!
