Benji - Beagle x Staffy (Trial 11/6/16)

My name is Benji. I am a 3 year old Beagle X Staffy weighing 24 kg that loves being around my foster family of humans and 5 other dogs.
I have a beautiful temperament and like all humans (including children) and other dogs. I don’t have a nasty trait in me at all and I don’t try to jump fences or dig holes to escape. I just want to be loved and treated well and I guarantee I will gave the same back.

I like being outside in a nice sized yard with good shelter and I love and must have a good bed and area to sleep. I am currently a bit spoiled having a Toyota Coaster bus to myself with a double bed, blankets, dooners and pillow. It is really cosy and peaceful. Every night my foster dad tucks me in under a dooner and I stay in that position until I get up the next day. I generally sit on cue but I can get a little excited or distracted from time to time and forget how to. I would really like my new family to keep training me because I am a very very smart boy and I learn quickly. Tell me to stay outside the house and I will. Put my food bowl down and tell me to wait and I will until you give me the direction to come and eat.

I certainly won’t mind if you allow me in your house as I am extremely well behaved. I won’t chew things up or wreck the place at all.
I don’t mind being left on my own for a few hours but like all dogs I love someone being around as much as possible. Please don’t just leave me at home alone all day every day as I don’t deserve that and NEVER tie me up unless it is essential to do so.

I am a strong and active boy who must have someone to take me for a daily walk or run. I am good on the lead and like cocking my leg up every 20 metres. I don’t know what I am like with cats because there are none here at my foster home. I will have a small bark if a bird flies over but generally nobody would ever hear me.

I could be a best friend for ever to someone out there. I am a very affectionate doggie and can't wait for my forever family and home.
