❤️ MEET CLEMENT
Every litter seems to have one puppy who holds a particularly special place in the foster mum's heart. And in the Bell Litter, that puppy is Clement.
In fact, Clement is his foster mum's favourite — if she's allowed to have one! ❤️
Clement is a lovely big, placid boy with a wonderfully gentle, easygoing temperament. He's one of those puppies who is simply a delight to have around.
The second biggest of the nine puppies in the litter, Clement is destined to be a large lad. But despite his substantial size, there's nothing overbearing about him. He's a happy, affectionate youngster who takes life in his stride and seems perfectly content just being part of the family.
🐶 A BEAUTIFUL TEMPERAMENT
Clement has been raised in a loving foster home alongside his eight brothers and sisters, enjoying plenty of affection, handling and social interaction.
He's a calm, good-natured puppy who enjoys the usual games and adventures with his littermates but has a particularly lovely, settled manner.
His foster mum describes him as an absolute delight, and her obvious affection for him speaks volumes.
🏡 CLEMENT'S IDEAL HOME
Clement would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a gentle, affectionate and easygoing dog to share their lives.
However, he is expected to grow into a large, powerful dog, so his new family will need to be comfortable managing a dog of that size.
He'll need secure fencing, plenty of companionship, appropriate exercise and a family committed to continuing his training and socialisation.
His placid nature is a lovely quality, although his eventual size will need to be considered, particularly in homes with very young children.
🐾 ABOUT THE BELL LITTER
Clement is one of nine beautiful puppies — 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's been a gentle, attentive mother and appears to have passed her beautiful nature on to her puppies.
We suspect the father may have been a Boxer or Bulldog, given the puppies' markings, build and the naturally stumpy tails seen in some of the boys. However, their paternal breeding remains unconfirmed.
✂️ DEFERRED DESEXING
Clement 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.
