I'm Floyd and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.

What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• Rides in the car
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs. I can be very rough in play with other dogs, this intensifies if the other dog is vocal. I am NOT a dog that you could take to a dog park etc. Impulse control classes would be great for me.
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• No young children as when I'm excited I can get bouncy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.

Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Small children as I may accidently knock them over

My best features:
• LOVE my people
• Housetrained & used to being allowed inside
• Very playful
• I can sit & come when asked
• Food motivated
• Wiggle butt
• I love toys - especially squeaky toys. I do need tough ones though otherwise they will not last long haha
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be a bit bouncy when excited -training should stop this
• I can be strong on the lead, although not really bad for a dog of my size - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
• I react negatively towards people wearing hats and cyclists - further desensitization, socialization and a confident owner is a must!

Medical issues:
• I have been diagnosed with dermatitis of the unpigmented areas of my skin. This will require ongoing management with an injection of Cytopoint every 6-8 weeks at a cost of approximately $150 per injection.
