About Macadamia
Meet Macadamia, affectionately known as Mac š¾
Mac is a gorgeous Maremma x Stumpy-Tail Cattle Dog mix, and as you can probably imagine from that combination, heās a wonderful dog with a big personality and a few quirks of his own!
Mac is neutral when meeting new people out & about, but if you are apart of his family, he absolutely loves you. ā¤ļø He gets along wonderfully with children and loves being included in family life.
Mac is BALL OBSESSED! If thereās a ball involved, youāve definitely found the way to his heart. He enjoys doing things on his own terms, and while his recall isnāt his strongest skill, throw a ball and suddenly heās very interested in what you have to say! š
For this reason, we recommend Mac isnāt let off leash in unfenced public spaces, as he may decide to head off on his own little adventure. His leash skills are generally good, and he isnāt reactive to other dogs while on lead.
Mac enjoys spending time with his doggy friends, but he is also perfectly happy as an only dog, provided he is included as part of the family. He doesnāt suffer from separation anxiety and is happy to be home alone, but when youāre home, he would much rather be involved in whatever youāre doing including plenty of relaxing together. He is completely toilet trained & past the chewing puppy stage as well
Mac has previously lived with chickens. However, since returning to foster care, he has shown that he is not suitable to live with cats or pocket pets, as he enjoys chasing them.
Mac is a lovely, quirky boy who will thrive with a family who understands his personality, appreciates his independent streak and is happy to include him in their everyday life. ā¤ļø
Macās ideal home:
š¾ A family who will include him as part of the family
š¾ Children are welcome
š¾ Happy as an only dog or with a suitable canine companion
š¾ Securely fenced property
š¾ Someone who understands that off-leash adventures arenāt for Mac
š¾ No cats or pocket pets
And, most importantly⦠someone prepared to throw A LOT of balls!
