Personality:
Mocha is a sweet natured young lad who is still finding his confidence in the big wide world. New places can make him a little shy at first, but with a handful of treats, some kind words, and a little patience, his gentle personality begins to shine. He is eager to learn and will happily do almost anything for a tasty reward, making training both easy and enjoyable. Mocha is also discovering the joy of toys, with soft plush toys quickly becoming his favourite, although nothing quite compares to curling up for affection and soaking up all the love and attention from his people.
Tamariki – 5+ and dog savvy to help him through his puppy phase.
Cats – Ok provided proper supervision and traininig.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialisation needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 6.8kgs. Likely to mature medium - large in size.
Ideal home:
Mocha would fit beautifully into most homes with adopters who are happy to invest time in ongoing training, socialisation, and enrichment as he continues to grow. Every new experience helps him become a little braver, and it is incredibly rewarding to watch his confidence blossom. With a loving family by his side, Mocha has all the makings of a loyal companion who will repay your patience with endless love, quiet devotion, and plenty of cuddles.
Sometimes the sweetest souls just need someone to believe in them. Could that someone be you?
