About Whiskey
Whiskey is a very handsome boy with his chocolate scruffy coat. He has the cutest face and adorable puppy dog eyes. Whiskey is a cuddly boy who loves getting affection from his foster carer and being told what a good boy he is. This boy has a bold and confident personality which means he has slotted into life on acreage at his foster home easily. He is a very loyal dog and respects boundaries on the property, never running off. Whiskey likes to play and explore, and he isn’t fazed by anything in his environment. He is very friendly with everyone that he meets, both adults and children alike. All in all, he is a very happy and delightful pup to have around!
Whiskey has been living with 4 other dogs while in foster care and he has been socialised with a number of others. He is very dog social and loves to run around playing with the other dogs. His favourite game with the others is to play chase. Whiskey is a relatively active dog who will need substantial exercise and mental stimulation in his day to day life. While he is dog social, he is not the type of dog you chuck into a dog park environment. He is better suited to playdates with known friendly dogs in a controlled environment. Whiskey is expected to grow to a large size (around 30-35kg) and has a fair amount of drive so will need committed and experienced owners who can meet his needs.
While in care, Whiskey has been doing very well with his basic training. He will sit on command, wait to be released for food and has good loose lead walking. Whiskey’s recall is also coming along well, and he loves to run around to stretch his legs. As he is still young, his new owners will need to continue his training. At home, he is progressing with his toilet training and is crate trained where he can sleep throughout the night without a peep. Whiskey travels well in the car, either on the back seat or in the back of the ute. He would love to be able to tag along with his new family on adventures.
We are looking for an active, dog experienced home for Whiskey. It would be preferable if his new owners are on rural property and/or have pointer experience as we suspect he is a German Wirehaired Pointer (or mix of). He will do best with another friendly and playful adult dog in his new home who is already fully trained and can be a good role model for him. Whiskey should be allowed inside to be with the family and will need a warm comfy bed inside to sleep on at night. He is fine to live with dog savvy children and other types of pets with the appropriate training and guidance. This wonderful dog will make a delightful addition to his new home with lots of tail wags and a big happy grin.
If you would like to make the wonderful Whiskey a part of your family, then please complete a Dog Adoption Enquiry on the Fetching Dogs website as the first step. Please include plenty of details of your previous dog experience, current household members and the type of lifestyle you can offer him.

This puppy will be adopted out under a desexing contract that will require the dog to be desexed by a given age. The cost of desexing will be included as part of the adoption fee. A $250 desexing bond will be payable in addition to the adoption fee and will be refunded upon proof of desexing. This process is further discussed with successful applicants.
Don't see a breed attached to one of our dogs? That's because we don't breed label dogs of unknown genetic history. We can't guess at breeds but that's okay, because we can tell you about the dog's individual personality, character, and behaviour.
