Profile

Preference will be given to homes with a resident dog who is well behaved, calm, and up to the age of 7.

I’m an adventurous soul, and sometimes I like to put out a bit of sass! I mean, somebody’s gotta keep my big boofy brothers in check!

I’m a sweet and sensitive soul really, and my future family will need to take special care to build my confidence in the big wide world. I need lots of reassurance when things get scary, and you’ll need to make sure I can investigate new things at my own pace. If you rush me before I’m ready you might make me scared for life! So gentle reassurance and letting me set the pace is important.

Now I’m definitely Staffy on both sides so that means that I adore people! So much so that you should be prepared to share your couch and maybe even your bed with me! I’m definitely a love dog, so I won’t cope being locked outside, I need to be with my family more often than not.

I’ll need daily training and mental enrichment to keep my brain happy, and given my age, I’ll need someone home more often than not. I might find it hard for the first little while, after I leave my siblings and the only home I’ve ever known, so please don’t lock me in the laundry and leave me to cry. I need company to feel safe in a new environment.

As with all young pups, my new owners will need to do lots of training and careful socialising with other dogs, people, and different environments so that I grow up to be a confident adult dog. Dog parks are no place for a young tyke like me, I might get overwhelmed by all the big dogs there, or I might learn lots of inappropriate behaviours from the other dogs. So one on one play dates with calm friendly dogs is best.

Remember, I’m still a puppy, and that makes me a baby. I’m not okay to be left for long periods of time.
I need to be left for tiny amounts of time, and this can be gradually increased in small increments. That way I learn to cope with being left.
I’ll need lots of mental stimulation and enrichment to keep me happy and to ensure I have a fulfilled life! This means puzzle feeders, play dates, adventures with my family, seeing new things and sniffing allllll the sniffs! My foster ma says I deserve the bestest life, so my new family should be prepared to give me the bestest life possible!

I have grown up alongside many different animals and have already been exposed to lots of different people, sounds, objects etc. This means I am;

Dog friendly
Cat friendly
Livestock friendly (horses, cows )
Child friendly (children over 10)

It is important to note though, that I am still a puppy, and I will need to be supervised around other animals and children.

My foster mum expects me to grow to between 20-25kgs.

Another thing to note is that because I’m so young, my joints are still soft and fragile. Too much exercise at this age can cause me problems later in life. Gentle walks on a harness and leash are ideal, and make sure you let me sniff as much as I like! This is how I learn about the world!

If you think you’ve got what it takes to be my forever family, then enquire below! We are anticipating a lot of applications, and only the very best homes will be considered, so make sure in your application/ enquiry, you tell us all about yourself, your home, your family, hours away from home, your current pets, your plans with your new pup if you are the successful applicant. The more information you provide the better we can see if you are a suitable home for one of these gorgeous pups!
