About Bodhi
Bodhi is a cruisy 9 month old with a bright future ahead of him. He is microchipped as “Staffy / Lab x” but we think there is perhaps kelpie or shepherd in him.
He is super smart and learns so quickly that we sometimes have to pinch ourselves! He can sit, drop, stay, come, wait, goes to bed when told and knows “ah ah ah”, leave and outside/inside. Every day he is with us he learns something new, even picking up his toys! He is house trained too.
He’s a beautiful boy, and not just on the outside. He is very good natured, affectionate and loves to have a cuddle. He gets along with our two dogs, and would best suit a home with a decent sized, fenced in yard and another dog to be his best mate, as he doesn’t like to be alone. He LOVES people and is also cat friendly. He does take chase if our two cats run, but it is just the playful puppy in him, as he would not hurt a fly.
During the loud fireworks on Australia Day, Bodhi enjoyed a leisurely game of fetch and was relaxed and focused. He is learning not to dash out the door, but even if he does manage to get out, he is easily recalled. Within a day he learned to sit and stay at the front door, and even when we come in, we can get him to sit, stay and be calm until we’re in the door. Then the all-over body wagging happens!
He loves the dog park, although he is more interested in romping around with our ball-obsessed dog than with the ball itself. He is showing a real interest in the Frisbee and it would be great to see what he can do with some practise. He loves to play tug and zooming around with our whippet cross (he actually holds back because she’s nowhere near as strong as he is), and has a respectful relationship with our not-so-dog-friendly staffy cross, so his manners are coming along and he really knows his place in a pack.
Bodhi would suit an energetic family or couple that is willing to take him for daily walks and spend time training him to reach his full potential. Another dog as a play friend would be wonderful too!
We are sure this gentle, intelligent, special young boy will grow into a real gentleman. It is a privilege to foster this gorgeous boy. His future family will be proud and blessed to call him their own.
