‼️ IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING
Cove MUST go to a home with an existing friendly, happy and confident dog. This is a non-negotiable requirement. Applications from homes without another dog will not be considered.
🐾 Personality:
Cove is a very sweet, intelligent but extremely timid puppy who sadly hasn't had the best start to life. She appears to have had little, if any, early socialisation, which has left her lacking confidence and finding the world a little overwhelming. She can be shy and anxious when first settling into a new home, but with time, patience and reassurance, her playful, affectionate personality starts to shine. She loves playing with toys, her humans and other dogs.
🎓 Training:
Cove is doing well on lead and learning her manners. She is still working on her toilet training and can be frightened by sudden loud noises and bath time. Puppy school and ongoing positive training will be important in helping her develop confidence. Untested with cats.
🏠 Perfect Home:
Finding the right home for Cove is particularly important. She significantly benefits from living with other dogs, and a happy, friendly and confident canine companion is essential to help her feel safe, build her confidence and learn that the world isn't so scary.
She needs a quiet, patient and understanding home that will give her time to settle and never rush her progress. As a working breed mix, she'll also need appropriate exercise, training and mental stimulation as she grows.
Cove has not lived with children, and we feel young children may be too overwhelming for her. A child-free home or one with older, calm children who understand the importance of giving her space would be best.
With the right home, a confident dog by her side and people willing to give her the time she needs, Cove has so much potential to grow into a happy, confident little dog.
Medical notes
The desexing procedure is typically performed once the puppies reach a minimum age of 24 weeks. It is a mandatory requirement that all puppies are desexed by the age of 26 weeks, unless there is written veterinary advice indicating otherwise. A contractual agreement specifying the commitment to desexing by the specified due date is required for completion.
Upon submission of documented evidence confirming the desexing procedure, a refund of $250 will be issued, and ownership transfer will be facilitated. Ownership transfer will not be processed until valid proof of desexing is provided via email.
It is important to note that all our dogs and puppies undergo microchipping, vaccination, and receive preventive measures against parasites as part of our standard practices.
