About Honey - 5 Month Old Staffy X Cattle Dog
Honey is a beautiful girl with a heart of gold. She’s beautiful inside and out with her sleek dark coat and gorgeous facial stripe. Honey forms deep bonds with her humans and loves the company of other dogs too. She brings endless joy into the room.
🎾 Honey loves playing with other dogs. Her playful energy means she would thrive best with an equally energetic canine companion to tumble around with.
Honey is the perfect family dog, she loves kids, loves dogs and has shown curious yet respectful curiosity around cats. We always recommend cautious, slow introductions and supervision.
Honey adores being close to her humans. She would happily share your bed at night, but with gentle persistence, she can settle into her own doggy bed right beside yours. She is currently learning crate training and doing well sleeping in her own secure space.
🧠 Honey is a clever girl who loves to please, especially when doggy treats are involved. She has already learned sit, down, stay and has fantastic recall, even at the beach! She walks well on lead and would enjoy long lead sniffaris.
🏡 Honey would love an active family, couple, or individual who isn't away for long periods and can give her the play and engagement she craves.
* An energetic dog sibling who loves to run and wrestle would be her dream come true.
* Kids 5 and over who are dog savvy.
* A home with a secure, grassed yard accessible via a doggy door will help her finish up her last bit of toilet training smoothly.
* Honey loves chew treats and like all curious puppies would get into mischief if allowed, so keep your shoes and socks tucked away when you aren't looking, as she loves to collect and chew things that smell like you.
* She isn't a huge fan of car travel just yet, but gentle exposure and positive reinforcement will help her build confidence.
Honey is an extraordinary companion ready to bring warmth, laughter, and loyalty as the perfect addition to your family.
