About Wilbur
Meet Wilbur, a gentle and affectionate pup, who would make a delightful addition to any home.
This boy is a sweet-natured couch potato who adores lounging around and showering his humans with affection.
Wilbur is a small boy, weighing only 10.6 kgs on 4 August.
Wilbur is great with dogs once he gets to know them, but he prefers a slow introduction to big dogs, in particular, due to a past unpleasant encounter.
Once he feels safe, his friendly nature shines through, making him a delightful companion for other dogs.
He is respectful of cats and prefers to avoid interacting with them.
Walks on the lead with Wilbur are a breeze, as you can see in the videos.
He is great with humans of all ages. While initially a tad shy, his affectionate side quickly emerges, once he gets to know you.
This sweet boy gets along wonderfully well with kids, knowing just when to smother the little ones with gentle kisses or capture the attention of older kids with a cheeky “play with me” bounce.
Wilbur is crate-trained and making excellent progress with his toilet training.
His obedience skills already include sit and drop. He's motivated by treats, making him highly trainable.
All Wilbur wants is a place where he can relax and snuggle with a loving family who appreciate his tender heart.
If you're searching for a calm, affectionate, and easygoing canine companion, Wilbur's gentle heart is a perfect match for any dog-loving home.
As always, secure fencing is essential.
