Personality 

Rudolph arrived underweight and a little unsure of the world, but with steady meals, gentle care and plenty of aroha, he’s already blooming. He’s social, friendly and playful, with a lovely calm focus when he’s with his people. In the kennel environment he can be a bit vocal, but once he’s out and about, he settles beautifully and shows just how sweet and affectionate he is.

Tamariki – Will fit in most families with correct introductions and supervision
Cats –No Cats has shown interest and has shown to chase
Dogs – Boisterous but friendly; needs ongoing socialisation
Stock/poultry – Not assessed
Size – Currently 25.7kg; needs to gain some weight but is fully grown

Ideal home

Rudolph is searching for a loving whare with time, patience and a comfy couch to share. Ongoing confidence building, socialisation and basic training will help him fully shine into the loyal, gentle companion he’s destined to be.
