Boo

Boo Dog is a male Poodle x.

He is currently with 2x 5month old kelpie pups - both male/& female and 2 cats - both male; aged 8years & 9months. He is an inside/outside dog on 2.5acres

Boo also lives with - 3 Children aged; 13; 8 & 6. My youngest child is a "handful at one speed - full on" and can be loud and very boy like.

Boo has adjusted to our family life so well and considering the time spent in RSPCA before coming into our care and then adjusting to our life I cannot recommend this little man enough. In fact I will find it hard to let go of him.

Boo is house trained; walks on a lead; sits/drops and stays on command and will even do little tricks - like dancing on his back legs and will jump up into arms if prompted from ground. He is very obedient and WELL TRAINED! Very responsive to commands and cues.He travels in car well and it would seem hes been quite social/with outings with previous owner.

Hes a very polite well trained dog around food. He is gentle and polite and very respectful towards feeding. He will growl/or "defend" at other dogs (over dinner delights - chicken necks) but not food aggressive.

He happily shares dry dog kibble and even wet can food with pups. I notice him slightly defensive on favourites. I always separate my dogs to eat anyway to be safe; including my pups.

Boo also loves to be "tucked in" of a night and will let you know hes ready to be tucked in right under the covers ready for bed :) He is vocal in his snoring; contented sighs as he cuddles and or sleeps and adores scratches on belly. He loves to be cuddled and will dotingly run around with you why you go about housework etc.

He plays well with my energetic kelpie babies; but I also know and am mindful of when he has had enough and give him a rest/break away and time out. I have a quiet place for him also.

He "tolerates" my loud energetic child 6yr old boy; but I feel he would do better with "older" children as I notice he does get a little stressed when my boy is running/yelling or jumping inside home (more so in confined spaces - as outside Boo can remove himself from the noise) He does not like to "wrestle" with my youngest boy like my pups.But he will happily wrestle with my pups in play.

Boo loves to jump on the trampoline and tug of war is his favourite. He fetches and plays with me; my children and my pups. He is both a energetic little dog; requiring exercise but also is a companion dog and happy to "hang out with you" he is a happy medium/or blend. He loves to "run" and leaps/jumps well; he is a very agile little man making him an active dog but he also has the happy blend of companionship.

Boo does not "yap" bark. He will bark at unfamiliar noises; strange people or dogs outside of his yard but will stop when requested.

Boo loves all the family but he definitely bonds with me/or adults/older children more. I think Boo would need either a cat/ and or other dog at home with him if left alone.

I think Boo could be easily stressed/or over whelmed by loud young children or larger dogs. As he will not tolerate; no manners or respect (from my puppies) around him and will see to remove himself or make it known he is not happy.

He is a loving kind dog with a beautiful little personality. I would consider his activity levels as medium.

He is very intelligent;not at all destructive in either inside time or outside.

He is quite stand offish to strangers of all types but does warm up to people with kindness and reassurance.

He adores company; loves to be love; so I dont think he would cope alone or with a hugely busy full time work or busy lifestyle. He's polite and small enough to be taken out socially and it can be seen he has done so in past.

Boo's adoption fee is $450. He is desexed and vaccinated and will be lifetime registered on the completion of her two week trial. Boo is located in Cessnock.
