About Hugo
Introducing Hugo, a dapper little Dashie who is on the hunt for a new home; he really loves people and has a heart of gold. This little chap is a very chilled and confident little companion dog and immediately connects with people; he is truly a top of the shelf prize. Hugo loves getting attention but is not over zealous or demanding - after some pats and belly rubs he is happy to retreat to his bed for a nap or under a tree to chew on a bone.
Hugo is a silver Dachshund and despite being short, is very agile. He weighs about 7.5 kilograms and is at peak physical fitness. He loves going for walks and waits patiently for his harness to be on. At 4 years old, he has outgrown all potential puppy antics and is fully toilet trained. (DOB 05/04/2022)
Hugo he is currently fostered with two other dogs (male and female) and engages positively with them; however, like many dogs, he guards his food. Hugo is a good watchdog and will let you know if a stranger approaches the house or when the postie arrives but because he has excellent recall, he will come when called.
Although he loves going on walks and exploring the garden, Hugo is predominantly an inside dog. He is not one to be left alone in the back yard for long periods and would suit someone who is home more often than not; he stays close to his people without being too clingy.
