Tippy

Tippy | Male | Mixed Breed | 2-3 months old

**LOCAL ADOPTION IN CAIRNS REGION ONLY**

Dog friendly: yes
Cat friendly: untested
Kid friendly: untested but a pup so likely fine
House trained: not yet
Energy level: medium
Size when fully grown: large

Appearance: All-black coat, white chest patch, four white paws, and a signature white tip on his tail that gave him his name.

Personality & Traits:

Cool, Calm & Independent: The most self-assured of the litter. He is very much a "dog’s dog" who is content doing his own thing and doesn't rely heavily on human attention to feel secure.

Vocal & Expressive: A big communicator with a strong vocal personality—if he wants something or thinks his siblings have a toy he deserves, he will bark up a storm until he gets his way!

Driven by Food: Tippy will pretty much take or leave anything in life—except food! Highly food-motivated, which will make training a breeze.

Loves His Snuggles & Scratches: While independent, he still adores cuddles, zoomies, and will gladly flop over for a good belly scratch anytime.

Ideal Home / Adoption Notes:
Would thrive in a home with another dog to hang out with, or with an owner who appreciates a confident, low-fuss puppy with a big, vocal personality. Ideal for someone ready to guide his vocal charm with food-based reward training!

Tippy is $450 + $100 desex bond* to adopt and comes microchipped, C5 vaccinated, and given flea/tick/worm prevention.

*Desex bond will be refunded once pup is desexed at one of our nominated vets at the appropriate age. It is a non-negotiable condition of adoption that pups are desexed prior to 8 months of age, unless otherwise approved by NQAR. The cost of desexing is included in the adoption fee, as long as it is done at one of our nominated vets.
