1) Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
Bailey has a playful, joyful nature. He is gentle, intelligent, and people oriented. The breed is known for chasing after small animals like squirrels, rabbits, and birds so he will need to be kept on a lead.
Bailey enjoys being around his family more than anything else so his new owner should keep in mind he requires lots of love and he is not going to like being left alone for long periods of time (even though he will cope).
Bailey loves:
- attention
- soft toys
- the car
- the beach
- water
- hugs
- food.
He is good around food but can get excited and may then knock a small child over. He is a little larger then the average KCC and may even be part cocker spaniel - but was advertised as a KCC in the pet
shop.
He has been prone to having a sensitive tummy but is fine when fed the correct food.
2) Ideal Owner
Bailey will appeal to many families but he deserves to have a home ideally suited to his personality and needs. He should not have to compromise.
While he is ok alone he prefers company so needs an owner home more often than not.
A home with another permanent friendly dog of similar age and activity level may be considered however, we would prefer Bailey has all the attention - only dog.
Bailey needs mental stimulation otherwise he might be a little mischievous - as would be expected. His new owner will need to give him time to settle in.
Bailey will not suit homes where people live in very close proximity with court yards e.g. villas or units.
As Bailey is people orientated he needs to be part of family activities.
He will not suit homes with residents that are very young, frail, elderly, renters or time poor.
3) Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
Will alert to something strange but is not currently a nuisance barker.
Bailey will suit any of the following:
- someone home more often than not.
- stay at home parent.
- someone that works from home.
- part time workers.
- empty nesters.
- active retirees.
- full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as he is a central focus when folks are home.
4) Exercise Requirements
Medium - playful and moderately active. If you miss a day he will need some play time at home.
5) When ON a lead ...
Bailey, like so many KCCs, is not good on a lead. Too many interesting things to see and sniff.
6) When OFF a lead ...
Once again, Bailey is pretty typical of the breed - recall is non existent.
7) Type of Yard Required
- Medium to large interesting and secure.
- Will dart through an open gate or door and take off.
- Ok with shoulder height fencing.
Located Lane Cove North 2066. Applicants within driving distance.

Adoption details
ADOPTION PROCESS (simple and easy)
1. Read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly - for you to self screen
2. The Expression of Interest (EOI) form MUST be completed prior to a meet and greet.
https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html
3. Speak to the carer/owner directly for more detailed info to determine if there are any 'deal breakers' - designed to save time and avoid falsely raising hopes.
4. 'Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. If you have a current dog it must meet too. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend. Both parties may wish to report their thoughts to each other but MUST update Dog Adoption directly too.
5. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more then 2 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 2 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
6. Normally, both parties have a think about the meeting, and if they wish to proceed, the adoption is completed after the adoption agreement, payment and screening is finalised.
7. A 2 week cooling off period commences once the dog arrives.
