Meet Aquarius. This gorgeous girl is a strong, independent little lady who is also inquisitive, playful, affectionate and very bouncy! When she’s finished playing, she’ll find a quiet place to hide or cuddle up to her person, and puppy snore! Aquarius is coming on in leaps and bounds with toilet training so far and Summer is the perfect time to get this down pat!

A mix of breeds, Aquarius certainly has some Bull Arab genes, meaning she'll likely be a medium-large to large adult dog. Bull Arabs have wonderful, goofy natures and when well socialised tend to be great with other dogs and people. Expect cuddles, fun and adventures when this lovely pup joins your household. She adores being with her people and will make a great addition to a caring home.

Aquarius will do best in a home with someone around most of the time while she settles in, and preferably for the first few months in her new family, and will blossom into a wonderful dog if her new owners can provide her with the following:

• Basic obedience (and lots of practice!). Puppy training is very important. Having an untrained puppy can lead to problems as pup grows up into a larger dog. Early training will result in a happy, obedient dog who understands routine and boundaries... and it's fun too!

• Daily exercise (once fully vaccinated) - exercise is vital for pups, helping both physical and mental stimulation. It encourages routine and good behaviour, and helps pup use up their abundant energy, so that they relax at home.

• Socialisation - this is providing pup with positive opportunities to meet new dogs, people, other animals and situations (not just your own dog and family), helping pup to be friendly and polite when out and about (puppy classes as well as walks are great for this!)

This girl is a beauty. If you'd love to welcome Aquarius or one of her littermates into your family please follow the instructions above to apply.

NOTE - if renting, we may request proof of permission to keep a dog at your property. Please ensure everyone in your household is on board with adopting a pup before applying. If you already have a dog, we will require to sight their vaccination record.
