Personality:
Racka can be a little shy to start. With a little kindness and patience, he quickly comes out of his shell and warms up to you. Once he trusts you, he is a massive cuddle bug and just wants to be super close toy you. He takes correction well and is eager to learn.
Tamariki – Dog savvy kids 5+ as he needs a calmer environment to come out of his shell.
Cats – He was avoidant of the shelter cat, confident cats preferred.
Kūri – Shy but loves other dogs, could do well with a calm doggy sibling.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 8.4kgs/ Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
We are looking for a calm, quieter household for Racka that will take the time and care to slowly introduce him to the world. Training and socialisation will be important for him to grow up big and brave. A home with previous dog experience is preferred to provide him with love and patience.
Ready for cuddles, tail wags, and unconditional love? Racka is waiting for you!
