1) Generally
- Good with Other Dogs
- Not Good with Cats
- ​Good with Kids + 12 yrs (as excitable and may jump)
- Toilet Trained
- Size 21 kg

2) Ideal Owner
People regularly fall in love with Max frequently commenting how cute he is.
His new owner needs to be relatively active and able to handle a strong, happy dog. They will also need to be affectionate and doggy focused.

Max should be the only permanent dog in the home.

As Max 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
He is usually quiet and rarely makes a sound. Will alert to something strange but is not currently a nuisance barker.

He will suit any of the following:
​- someone home more often than not.
- someone that works from home.
- part time workers as long as someone is home more often than not.
- empty nesters.
- active retirees.

Max will be getting used to being without his life long friend, Rocky, and his human mum. So he will need someone around to help him transition.
​
4) Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
Max is excitable around other dogs - new friends may not understand this eagerness to play. Hence, his responsible owners currently let either Max or his mate, Rocky, off the lead one at a time.

Max - loyal, affectionate and good at alerting to strange noises. He is a little less 'needy' when it comes to cuddles but is still a loving, dependable little shadow.

He loves the water (beach, river etc), fetching balls, eating bones, eating in general, drives in the car and playing with the hose. He dislikes people raising their voices, being left alone for extended periods of time, temperature extremes and boredom.

5) Exercise Requirements
​Medium - playful and moderately active (can miss a daily walk).
​
6) When ON a lead ...
He is easy to walk and is obedient unless distracted - which is normal.

7) When OFF a lead ...
Sometimes good and sometimes bad - he usually stays close by but can get distracted by other dogs.

8) Type of Yard Required
Medium to large interesting and secure.
