About Benji
Benji is a lovely little dog full of fun and ready to adore the person who adores him. Benji weighs just over 7kg and is a pocket rocket when it comes to energy levels so play time, regular walks and ANOTHER SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED PLAYFUL DOGGY COMPANION WHO WILL HAPPILY ENGAGE HIM PLAYING CHASE, TUG-O-WAR AND RUMBLES IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST IN HIS NEW HOME. Benji can get over exuberant in play and can be a bit mouthy but this is typical JRT behaviour and is just playfulness, never biting. He is very soft and cuddly and more than happy to chill out on the couch ( especially if there's a meaty bone or chew to enjoy) when it is time for watching TV, reading or cuddles. He is fine with experienced children over 5 years but they need to be understanding and calm around him. Benji loves his toys (especially knotted ropes) and will race around the house hopefully getting other dogs and people involved in his games so a home providing the stimulation he loves would be ideal. One of the bonuses of having a dog like Benji in your life is you will never be short of laughs and love. Currently, he is enjoying two walks a day and is really good on the lead, obeying instructions happily and readily and already sitting for treats which he takes gently. Benji has a lovely, soft coat that only needs basic grooming but is generally low maintenance. He loves having his coat brushed and will lie happily on his carer's lap for ages being brushed and massaged. Benji has mastered the doggy door and sleeps soundly on the foster carer's bed at night, willingly moving if he gets a bit heavy on feet and legs!! He still needs some ongoing training to curb his mouthy play but being a fast and willing learner he has improved greatly. Benji lets his carer know when there are visitors but ,once it is established they are welcome, he thinks they have come to play with him. Benji is a delightful dog who will make an ideal companion and his carer says he has been a joyful addition to the household.
