Tyson *On Trial in His New Home*

*TYSON IS CURRENTLY TRIALLING HIS NEW HOME* Cruisey Tyson is one of two healthy, happy puppies who were rescued from Robinvale pound by one of our wonderful SARG committee members. We later found out that they’re a rather bizarre mix as their mother is a Red/Blue Heeler “bitsa” while their father has Rottweiler and St Bernard in him, so Tyson has obviously thrown towards the Rotti side of the mix – they are real large breed Heinz 57 puppies with lots of love to give! Tyson’s an extra special boy as he was born with less than half a tail which he can still wag like crazy when he’s excited!!!!!

Both pups have lovely, friendly nature’s and get along well with their carers other dogs and are used to being handled (cuddled!) by adults as well as children making them pretty much “bomb proof” – they’re even good with the household cats and the ducks and chickens! And you should see them bouncing around after their foster carers pet rabbits and then they curl up for a puppy-nap with their pet pig who thinks he’s a dog anyway! All of the pups LOVE food and aren’t fussy so this is helping them with learning the basics such as “sit” and “down”. We reckon they’ll be the size of large Labradors once they finish growing.

Handsome Tyson is quite the cool, calm character though he can be a bit of a sooky-la-la too. He’s always up for a bit of fun with his brother or anyone else who’d like to join in. He’s also a real snuggle-bunny (he loves a belly rub!) who thrives on attention and often finds himself being pushed around in his carers daughters dolly pram – cute; although that won’t last long at the rate he’s growing! As he’s only a young pup he will require ongoing obedience training as well as socialisation with other dogs so he grows up to have lovely manners! \ Daily walks, secure fencing, bones to chew on and toys to keep Tyson stimulated are also a necessity so he doesn’t get bored and up to mischief.

As Tyson is already picking up housetraining he would be best suited to an indoor / outdoor lifestyle with either a doggie companion to learn from or on his own but only if he won’t be left alone for long periods of time especially while he’s a pup as he's used to having company.
