See them On YouTube https://youtu.be/5k6Z2eTO0Tw
Devoted pair - Rocky has the white patches and Max is red.
Will separate if need be.

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

2) Ideal Owner
People regularly fall in love with the dogs and receive frequent comments about how cute they are.
Their new owners needs to be relatively active and able to handle two strong, happy dogs at once while walking. They will also need to be affectionate and doggy focused.

As the dogs are people orientated they need to be part of family activities.

They will not suit homes with residents that are very young, frail, elderly, renters or time poor.

3) Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
They are usually quiet and rarely make a sound.
Will alert to something strange but are not currently a nuisance barkers.
They 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 the dogs are a central focus when folks are home.
When it comes to being without people they prefer company but can cope alone.
​
4) Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
​Rocky and Max are excitable around other dogs and new friends may not understand this eagerness to play. Hence, their responsible owners only let one off the lead at a time so no one is overwhelmed.

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.

Rocky - is a very happy go lucky boy. Sweet natured and enjoys cuddling up closely to get warm. He loves going for walks and knows when it is time - as soon as the jacket goes on he spins in little circles with excitement.

Both love the water (beach, river etc), fetching balls, eating bones, eating in general, drives in the car and playing with the hose. They dislike 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 ...
They are easy to walk and are obedient unless distracted - which is normal.

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

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