Meet Bellamy, one of the nine beautiful puppies in our Bell Litter — a handsome brindle and white boy with a lovely, gentle temperament.
Bellamy is a particularly appealing little fellow, with his rich brindle markings, sturdy build and adorable naturally stumpy tail.
At 3.9 kgs at seven weeks, he is one of the smaller boys in the litter, although he is still expected to grow into a good-sized dog.
❤️ A GENTLE, SWEET-NATURED BOY
Bellamy has inherited his mum's lovely, sweet temperament. He's a gentle, good-natured puppy with a calm, easy-going manner that makes him very easy to like.
He has been well socialised in his foster home, growing up alongside his eight brothers and sisters and enjoying plenty of handling, affection and interaction with his foster family.
He's learning all about the world around him and, with his gentle disposition and lovely nature, has all the makings of a wonderful family companion.
🏡 BELLAMY'S IDEAL HOME
Bellamy would suit a loving family looking for a gentle, affectionate companion to share their lives.
He will need secure fencing, plenty of companionship and a family committed to continuing his training and socialisation.
His sweet temperament should make him a lovely addition to family life, including a home with children who understand how to interact kindly and appropriately with a growing puppy.
🐾 ABOUT THE BELL LITTER
There are nine puppies in the litter — seven boys and two girls — born to their lovely young mum, Bell (pictured).
Bell is a sweet-tempered Bull Arab girl, quite small for her breed. She has been a gentle, attentive mum and has passed on her lovely nature to her babies.
We suspect the father may have been a Boxer or Bulldog. Several of the boys, including Bellamy, have naturally stumpy tails, while others have distinctive brindle markings and substantial builds. However, without confirmed parentage, this remains our best assessment rather than a certainty.
✂️ DEFERRED DESEXING
Bellamy is offered for adoption under ARK's Deferred Desexing Program, with desexing to take place when age appropriate in accordance with his adoption contract. The cost of desexing is included in the adoption fee, subject to terms and conditions.
🌏 INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS
We welcome interstate applications and are happy to assist with suitable transport options, quotes and travel arrangements. Distance need not be a barrier to the right home.
❤️ WHY WE LOVE BELLAMY
Beautifully marked, gentle and sweet-natured, Bellamy is a delightful little fellow who has inherited the very best of his lovely mum's temperament.
And that cute little stumpy tail adds an extra touch of charm!
