Colt *On Trial in His New Home*

*COLT IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* \ Confident Colt is a healthy, happy puppy who was born in Wilcannia (western NSW) in November last year. Supposedly he’s a Pointer/Staffy mix and we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some Great Dane in there too as this fella has BIG paws! \ He and his brothers and sister came to us via Broken Hill pound where the fantastic Ranger removed literally hundreds of blood-sucking bush ticks from the poor puppies before sending them to us in Mildura where they’ve been lapping up the good life in foster care.

Colt was the runt of the litter though with great food and good living he’s managed to catch up to his siblings. He is fun-loving and playful and adores pats and attention. Colt gets along well with his carers other dogs, both big and small, and he is used to being handled (cuddled!) by adults as well as older children making him pretty much “bomb proof” – he’s even good around the household cats and isn’t fazed by their miniature horses. Adorable Colt LOVES food and isn’t fussy so this is helping him with learning the basics such as “sit” and “down” and he’s even picking up “shake”. \ He hasn’t spent any time on a lead as he’s being fostered on acreage and is only just fully vaccinated so will need some practice with this in his forever home. We guesstimate Colt will be the size of a large Labrador once he finishes growing.

As Colt is 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 Colt stimulated are also a necessity so he doesn’t get bored and up to mischief.

Colt 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 as he’s used to having company.
