About Samson
Samson is lovable little larrikin who loves attention and cuddles and will entertain you with his happy antics. He is a happy boy who loves his toys and can entertain himself and wait quite happily during time alone.
Samson is not much of a socialite and while he loves traveling in the car, he is easily overwhelmed by new places and people. He is an indoor dog, who toilets outside, so you will need a small secure yard. He walks nicely on leash, but does not enjoy walks beyond home and can become quite stressed if you force him into new places with lots of traffic, strange people or dogs. If you are looking for a dog to walk daily - Samson is not the guy for you. He much prefers hanging out at home and needs slow introductions to new people. If you are looking for a dog who can relax at home and exercise with games, he will be a loyal and loving companion.
He is crate trained - and loves his crate. This is his safe place and he returns to his crate for bedtime each night without fuss and meeting new people is much easier if he can view them first from his safe place. He responds well to a reliable routine and enjoys two meals a day. He enjoys cooked meats, and will happily share most 'human meals' (chicken, sausages, etc.), and turns his nose up to processed dog food.
He is currently sharing his home with another small breed dog and an extra large breed, and he happily shares space, food and toys with them both. In his past, he has reportedly not mixed well with other dogs, however those meets appear to have occurred beyond his home. With that in mind, he may be better suited as a solo dog as he really does like being the centre of your attention and certainly has no problem being under the spotlight and soaking up your applause.
Samson will announce the arrival of any visitors, but he is not an ongoing barker. True to his breed, he offers an alert bark if a car pulls in the driveway or someone approaches or enters the door. He is very good at letting you know if there is someone outside. He is currently living beside caged birds and cats without fuss and seems to understand they are part of the family. He also enjoys the company of a toddler who visits regularly and if play begins to get a little too animated, he heads back into his crate to wind down.
Samsons adoption requires that you provide a crate for bedtime and meals. This is also important to help him meet any new people that may visit. He has a lovely coat and enjoys regular brushing. He stands nicely for washing and grooming and very much enjoys the contact and attention.
If you have a reasonably quiet home and are looking for a stay at home best buddy who will appreciate your cooking, Samson would love to meet you!
