Personality:
Sydney is a curious, playful boy with a wonderfully big personality to match those ears. He can be a little timid when meeting new dogs or finding himself somewhere unfamiliar, but once he gets his bearings, his curiosity kicks in and he is keen to explore and experience the world. He absolutely loves his people and craves plenty of human attention and affection. Give him a toy and he is more than happy to show off his tug and fetch skills too.
Tamariki – 5+ as he can be a little mouthy at the moment.
Cats – Ok with cats provided proper intros and training.
Kūri – Shy but respectful. Ongoing socialisation needed to build confidence.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 10.3kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Sydney is looking for a loving home that can give him the structure, guidance and ongoing training and socialisation he needs to grow in confidence. An active home would suit him well, with plenty of opportunities to exercise both his body and his brain. After a good play and a little mental workout, Sydney is quite happy to settle and relax with his people. If you are looking for a fun, affectionate boy with plenty of personality, Sydney could be your guy!
Sydney’s bags are packed and he’s ready for his next adventure. His forever family could be just around the corner. Apply now!
