About Nugget ~ Labrador X (on trial 9/10/19/
This very handsome young man is Nugget, a 4 month old Labrador x Border Collie x Staffy. Nugget is looking for a home to call his own.
Nugget is great with other dogs and is very playful. He loves the water and playing in the yard. Tug of war is also a favourite!
Nugget has been to puppy school and knows lots of commands. He can sit, stay, roll over, shake and will come when called. Nugget is super smart so on going training would be something he would enjoy. He is still a little jumpy and can dig when bored so providing him a calm pool to have a designated digging spot and lots of doggy toys would be ideal.
He is still only a pup and with time and direction, this will pass. He is going to be an exceptional boy when fully grown. He learns quickly.
Nugget sleeps inside and needs to be allowed to continue with this. He is happy to sleep on his dog bed and is toilet trained but must be let out first thing in the morning. He enjoys his time inside when the family is home but happy to be outside in the sunshine when they are not.
Nugget would suit a family with kids over 10 years old who love playing in the yard. A furry friend would be a bonus as the company he would enjoy. Nugget loves going for a walk and a run and a play. This boy has a beautiful nature and will make a great addition to the family. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).
As Nugget is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens because he'll need to be returned to our vet for desexing when he's approximately 5 months old.

Nugget's adoption fee is $550 and includes his desexing, vaccinations and microchipping and she's been treated for fleas and worms.
