Personality:
Nairobi is a wonderfully charismatic boy with plenty of personality packed into one very handsome package. He is well mannered, enjoys being around people and has a naturally curious, engaging nature. He is still figuring out that humans can be trusted, but underneath that uncertainty is a dog who really wants to believe the best in people. Give him the right support and he will become a confident and wonderful companion.
Tamariki – 5+ while he builds confidence.
Cats – Cats ok provided proper intros and supervision.
Kūri – Friendly. ongoing socialisation needed.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 9.7kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Nairobi is looking for someone who knows their way around a dog and understands that the best relationships are built on trust, consistency and a little bit of patience. Bully breed experience would be a real bonus, as he will benefit from someone who can confidently guide him while still giving him the space to work things out for himself. Clear boundaries and a predictable routine will help him understand what is expected of him, while plenty of training, enrichment and new experiences will help him discover just how much the world has to offer.
Looking for a dog with a big personality and just enough mischief to keep life interesting? Nairobi would like a word.
