Adoption information
About Kip
Yes, Kip is like a Golden Retriever in a Greyhound disguise! 🐶
Kip is an extremely cuddly, friendly boy and is seeking a human who loves a couch cuddle!
Still being in his puppy years as a 2 year old, he is friendly and loves going out for a walk!
He would like at least one walk a day, but would be happy with two, he also loves to be playing with his toys all day!! So lots of toys are a must!
Kip copes well at staying home by himself, in saying that of course he would also love his person to work from home at times - this is purely just as he loves your company so much.
Kip has been great with kids and loves people of any age, he grew up with kids around him from a puppy. Although Kip is great with kids, all kids must be experienced with dogs and know boundaries.
He walks well on lead, does not worry about other dogs other than just wanting to say hello.
Kip can be a little shy in new environments, but warms up quickly with some encouragement.
He is a great sleeper overnight and holds his bladder very well.
With his beautiful coat and nature he will be a lovely family pet!
[Note: Under Victorian Law greyhounds must be on-leash at all times in public areas, including in off-leash parks or ovals]
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
