Bothenia

Bo is an energetic puppy who loves to be around you. She loooves snuggles and will happily smother you with her affection. Bo is found of sneaking onto the couch to get as close to her humans as possible.
She is a mix of mastiff x kelpie blend

Bo is a very smart pup, already mastering the sit command, however, will need a bit more practice walking on the lead (she likes to carry her own lead).She would love her furever family to continue her training as she has so much potential. Puppy school would be a great benefit to Bo as she loves to socialised and has already shown great improvements learning commands.

Bo currently lives with both cats and large dogs and is enjoying play time with all of them, therefore she would probably benefit from having her own play friend. Bo loves to play with all sorts of toys and will often make a nice collection for her convenience.

She has been around school-aged children with no issues but hasn’t been tested on very small humans, however I would imagine she would be super gentle.

Treat toys have been a hit as they combine two of her favourite things - toys and food! She loves to play tug-of-war with her foster siblings and chase is an all-time favourite. Bo is slowly coming around to ‘fetch’ as well and with a bit more practice will probably master it.

At the end of the day, Bo will gladly snuggle up in bed with you for the night and will treat you to her sweet snores of contentment. There is no doubt Bo would make an amazing companion.

Common Questions we get asked

Can I come anytime to pick a dog
We are NOT A SHELTER

This way we can we can ensure that the details we provide are as accurate as possible

Can I pay for the dog over the phone or put a puppy on hold?
No, we are adopting out live animals, it would be
highly irresponsible to adopt out an animal without everyone meeting.

Are our puppies aggressive?
NO, they are only babies and are not aggressive

What are they blended with?
We are unsure as our animals are rescued.
We describe our dogs as best we can under vets advise

Are the pups good with children?
We need to ask if your kids are okay around pets. Our puppies are
fostered in loving homes, they really are only babies who have no
issues. Though like all puppies, they will benefit from training and a loving family home.

What if I have another dog?
To avoid disappointment, please bring your dog with you to the adoption event, so we can see them interact.
