About Phillip and Takarni
Two adorable middle aged but active bonded pair, both very intelligent but gentle and love to have fun playing in the garden together.
Tikaani tells Phillip it’s time to play, sometimes Phillip will say no, I want to sleep more! They’re willing to please and are house trained, they respond well to basic training commands, but are very keen to learn, so, if you invest the time consistently, they will very quickly reward you with very responsive obedience
They will both need a leader with a calm assertive energy to guide them with consistent ongoing training, to walk on a leash.
They didn’t have a good start to life and both have been through a lot recently.
Originally rescued from an abusive back-street-breeder, they’re timid, not fearful just unsure of you until they feel safe around you.
They are very close and enjoy each others company and a close bond, so they must stay together
Things took a sad turn Nov 2023, the family were made homeless due to the rental crisis.
Now they are looking for their forever homes.
Phillip is an 8 year old Red Healer x Rotti and is a very gentle soul, he has a beautiful silky smooth glossy red coat.
Phillip is a strong boy and excitable, especially if he’s going out. Phillip loves life, loves his food too!, he inhales his treats and dinner.
Phillip loves to play with Tikaani and they will run around the garden excitedly chasing each other for a few minutes then its back to sleep!
Phillip is the more confident of the two but he’s very respectful of Tikaani, he doesn’t try to steal his food or treats.
He’s a delight and fun to have around, he’s also a very good guard dog with an impressive deep bark but in between keeping the home secure, he loves to sleep…a lot, he likes to sleep under the bed, a chair, or anything he can sleep under, and he likes to go back to bed after his breakfast to a dark room, to sleep some more!
At night he likes to be close to you, on the bed if he’s allowed.
Tikaani, is a 7 year old Japanese Akita x Kelpie x Husky, his coat is similar to a German shepherd, he can look intimidating with his air of aloofness, but he’s a real gentleman!
Tikaani is an absolute charming boy, observing his gentleness in everything he does, if you give him a treat he will take it gently and will sit quietly and slowly savour it, the same with his food, he takes his time and savours every morsel!
He’s also very cuddly and affectionate and will quickly bond with his new owner, the more you get to know him, his character shines through, he’s got a cheeky side and the one that instigates the fun, he just loves to be chased by Phillip and the joy and excitement on his face is a joy to see
Although middle aged, they are fit and active and very agile, so can jump and clear a 5ft fence, so a secure garden that they cannot escape is a must.
They have been around children and other dogs, unsure how they are with cats or other small pets.
Would ideally suit a family with someone that works from home or is home most of the time, not left all day alone
A secure acreage block would be ideal, or a large garden, and daily walks 30 - 45 mins
This bonded pair would make wonder family members. Super sweet and friendly loving dogs.
