Banjo is a cute and friendly 2 year old Hound x boy . He is knee height in size so on the small side of medium (approximately 16 kg) - he has a long curled tail that he likes to wag . He loves people - he just wants to love you and be loved in return.

Banjo is a very playful and happy go lucky boy. He is currently in a kennel environment where he can play with dogs all day so he enjoys a good run around with the other dogs. He prefers dogs who aren't full on or in his face when playing so he can be a little dog selective at times. He would suit a home as an only dog or with a friendly, adult female dog whom he can play with and follow as a role model. He requires further lead training when out walking as he can get excited when meeting other dogs, so he requires a confident owner who will keep on top of his training. Banjo is great with dogs he knows well .

Banjo knows how to sit and shake for his dinner and can also give you a high five. He is very smart and responds well to training.

Banjo had a rough start to life, but he has learnt to trust people again and he will happily meet new people with a friendly tail wag and playfulness. He really is a gentle soul and will make an incredible addition to your family. He would be best suited to a home with someone who can walk him daily, and one where he is not left alone all day long . He enjoys a good mix of active time as well as chill out time - he is a social boy and thrives with human companionship. He would suit a family with older kids or teenagers who are used to dogs.
