Claude *On Trial in His New Home*

*CLAUDE IS CURRENTLY TRIALLING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES / APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Pocket-Rocket Claude has oodles of energy hence why his profile pics aren’t so flash as he wouldn’t keep still – his carers are still trying to find his off switch!! He is the only male out of a litter of healthy, happy puppies who were born in September. His mother is a Terrier cross while his father is supposedly a Silky Terrier cross which is probably where he got the longer black fur that runs along his back and onto his head from and he doesn’t mind you styling it into a Mohawk either; cool!

All of the 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 primary school aged children and young teenagers making them pretty much “bomb proof” – they’re even good with the household cats and their chickens! All of the pups LOVE food and aren’t fussy so this is helping them with learning the basics such as “sit” and “down”. \

Note: we've found homes for his sisters, but Claude is being advertised last as he was a "late bloomer", so couldn't be desexed until now.

Adorable Claude is a real goer and a little live wire though once he settles down he enjoys a snuggle on your lap; he’s an affectionate fella. He tended to get bossed around by his 4 sisters during playtime though he never gives up when it comes to playing tug-o-war with them – he really loves toys! As he’s such a bouncy pup we wouldn’t recommend him to a home with toddlers who he could quite easily knock over in his excitement, he’d be better suited to an older household where there’s a playful dog to learn from – Claude wouldn’t do well in a home where he’s left alone while his humans go to work as he’s used to having company and thrives on attention.

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, chicken necks to chew on and toys to play with will make Claude very happy indeed. He’s a real water baby who enjoys splashing around in his doggie pool during these hot Mildura days we’ve been having and as he sleeps inside at night and is already picking up housetraining he would be best suited to an indoor / outdoor lifestyle in his forever home.

Please Note: His ears look green due to his desexing and microchipping tattoos - the dye went everywhere but will eventually wash out!
