Personality:
Thaddeus is one clever little guy with a heart full of love. While he is a little more laid back than you might expect from a puppy, he still enjoys a good play session before happily settling in for cuddles with his favourite people. Soft toys are his absolute obsession, and if you let him, he'll proudly collect and hoard every single one.
He is already walking nicely on lead, knows a few basic commands, and is incredibly food motivated, making him a dream to train. More than anything though, Thaddeus loves being with people and soaking up all the affection he can get.
Tamariki – Any age provided proper intros and supervison.
Cats – Seems uninterested in cats.
Kūri – Friendly, needs ongoing socialisation.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 14.8kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
Thaddeus is the kind of puppy who could slot into almost any home. He would be just as happy joining a family with children, sharing his home with other dogs, or even living alongside cats. Like all puppies, he will thrive with ongoing training, socialisation and fun enrichment to keep his clever brain engaged and help him grow into a confident, well rounded companion. In return, you'll have a loyal best friend who is always ready for a cuddle, a walk, or to proudly parade around with his favourite soft toy.
