Puppy Parker (On Trial 12/7/14)

Introducing Parker, 11 week old Australian Cattle Dog x Boxer x Bull Arab. He is a little treasure! He loves his toys and sleeps with his favourite teddy bear. He is a loving, loyal little man who loves to play with the other pups and with the other four adult dogs here, large and small. He hasn't met a cat but he is young enough to learn to accept them.

Parker has been in care since he was 4 weeks old and has been a joy to foster. He loves a cuddle and is happy following you in the yard and house while you go about your chores.

Parker will probably grow up to be a medium sized dog so he'll need good 6 foot fences (not rural wire fences). He is too young to spend all day alone so it would be good if in his new home there was someone who doesn't work full time. He enjoys other dogs and would love to have another friendly dog to keep him company in his forever home. Parker will be lovely with children over 5 years old (the younger ones might hurt him).

Parker loves to spend time in the yard. He'll use a kennel or trampoline bed for daytime naps. He needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home and after dark and to sleep inside. He must be included as a member of the family such as little outings and even just relaxing in front of the TV.

Parker is 99.9% house trained. He is learning to sit and will come when called. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life.

In my eyes Parker is an angel and whoever takes him into their family are going to be very glad they chose him. He has no "issues"; he's just a normal, happy, intelligent little puppy full of love and potential. He'll be a joy to have as your new family member.
