Dusty is a healthy little puppy who has been raised in a home environment. He has been well socialised with other puppies and adult dogs (small and medium) and gets along well with them all, although can seem a little nervous at first. He's met lots of people, including older children and is friendly and affectionate with them, Although a typical pup with puppy teeth and paws.

Dusty will grow up to be a medium sized dog. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.

It would be a big plus if you have a friendly and patient adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Dusty. If you don't have another dog to keep him company, then there should be someone in the household that is home more often than not, especially in those early days. Someone familiar with the 3,3,3.

Dusty needs to be welcomed into the family as an essential member. What does this mean? It means he needs to be welcomed inside to be a part of the family and to sleep inside with his people. He will be a wonderful family dog and is suitable for children 8 years and older. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).
