Brian *On Trial*

*brian is currently trialling his new home* if you’re after an instant doggie family without going through the “puppy stage” you can’t go past this beautifully mannered pair!! brian and matilda (tilly) are absolutely delightful dogs, you can tell they’ve been loved and that time has been put into their training which is why their surrender to sarg for rehousing has been reluctant but we have promised to find them a wonderful home where they can be together as they always have been!!

rescued nearly 4½ years ago as young pups in wa, brian and tilly are brother and sister and although similar in size they really don’t look alike at all. And as to what breed’s they’re made up of it has stumped many different vets over the years who finally settled on the safe “cross breeds” for their description. Brian looks like he may have some shepherd or mastiff in him with his darker markings around his snout whereas tilly kind of looks like a small labrador with maybe a little staffy thrown in, but whatever they are it is a perfectly balanced blend as they are devine!!! brian weighed 32kgs at his last vet visit so he's a little bit overweight but we're working on that :)

brian, who got his name from a monty python character as he was “a very naughty boy” when he was a puppy, loves to swim especially at the beach from his time living in tasmania – he was scared of the waves at first but outgoing brian soon conquered his fears! brian is described by his owner as enjoying human company, likes walks and outings, is willing to learn, likes one-on-one training, is athletic and strong and really enjoys attention! he really is a character!!

brian is housetrained, good with other dogs and children, walks well on a lead and is obedient unless in open bush then he will go it alone with his sister for a short time before returning when called. Neither dog jumps up on you or is “in your face”, they’re fairly laidback and are not barkers, diggers or chewers. Brian loves his food and has grown up on a varied diet of bones, chicken frames, oats, yoghurt, table scraps including veggies as well as good quality commercial dog food. We would love to find brian and matilda a home together where they can enjoy an inside / outside lifestyle and be part of the households goings on though perhaps not with cats as they’ve never lived with one but will chase them from their yard. Secure fences, daily walks, bones to chew and toys to play with will make this lovely pair of dogs very happy indeed!!
