Boss

Boss arrived into care with his brother, Chappy. He's a very chilled out, loyal puppy who is happy to sit by your side and LOVES a cuddle with his humans. This handsome young man is currently in care with 3 other dogs of various sizes and gets along great with all of them. Boss loves his toys and enjoys playing with the other dogs in his foster home.

Although Boss enjoys being cuddled and adored by his humans, he isn't as needy for attention as his brother, Chappy. He has not shown the typical 'energy' of a working breed dog, but will need a good sized yard (or acreage) as this could change once he hits a teenager! He is very submissive to other dogs and will often sit back and watch what's happening around him.

Whilst in care, his foster mum has been introducing basic commands and manners which is coming along well. Boss is extremely gentle when taking food and an overall placid little man when interacting with his humans. He would be a great dog for children due to his gentle nature.

He would suit a home with or without another dog, as long as he was made to feel a part of the family. If he was to be an only dog, he would need continued socialisation with other dogs during his puppy stage and into adulthood, as well as ongoing training so that he grows up to be a well mannered, socialised young man. Working dog breeds need plenty of exercise and we will be looking for an active family who understand their needs.

We would love to help get you started with that, so our amazing supporters, Best Friends - Erina, have kindly offered to include a 5 week Puppy training course with all of our Puppy adoptions (up to 16wks of age)....The Best Friends Puppy Pre-School service is a fun and interactive five-week training course that covers puppy behaviours, diet, health, grooming, exercise and play, with an emphasis on socialisation, command training, health and care. Their aim is to teach you positive ways to train your puppy in basic skills such as ‘sit’, ‘drop’, ‘stay’, and how to walk well on a lead, but also how to control your puppy’s not so desirable behaviours like toileting inside, biting, mouthing and separation anxiety.

Boss has had all his vet work done and now just waiting for someone to fall in love and take him home.
