Storm

Hi, my name is Storm and I am a very handsome lad with a lovely shiny coat who turns 6 on Christmas Eve. I love to be around people and as I have been living with a stay at home mum I would like to be in a similar situation in my new home where I have human company most of the time.

I dislike being outside if I can see that there are people inside and want to be part of the action so will cry to get your attention. I am not that interested in balls or toys although I do love bones and pigs ears.
I will sit, lie down, roll, come here (all with no hand commands). Stop (with a flat palm). Up (with flat palm pointing to the sky)

I don't bark when the door bell goes or someone knocks on the door or comes to our side gate and am therefore not much use as a guard dog as I am just so very friendly and happy to see anyone who comes. I do jump up to get a pat and need some training to deter me from doing this. I was always supervised when I was with the young toddler I lived with and was very good with him even when the little boy hit me with his toys. But I am a little too excitable for him and sometimes pushed him over accidentally looking for a pat.

A relative often brought over her female maltese shitzu and we got on fine although mostly the other dog bounced around me and \ I used to stare at it wondering what drugs it was on !

On walks I occasionally pull on the lead to get to where I want to go. I am quite good at stopping at the curb without being told but usually forget to do this towards the end of the walk. I like walking in the water at the beach but have never been a ball chasing kind of dog.

I am scared of thunderstorms and will shake and want to be inside with you at these times. Nor do I like the low rumbling sounds of large trucks going by.

For Christmas I would like a new home with a family hopefully with older children whom I can play with and either with someone who is home a lot, maybe a retired couple or a tradie who can take me to work with him.
