Smokey

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

*I AM AVAILABLE FROM SATURDAY 19/6 FOR A $100 DEPOSIT TO HOLD ME UNTIL I HAVE BEEN DESEXED*

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
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction, however the cat will need to be ok with a large bouncy puppy
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• 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 get very bouncy and mouthy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
• Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
• SOCIALISATION is as important as training a puppy. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman et) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will ensure I grow into a social and well adjusted dog.
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
• Giant breed experience is a MUST

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
• Rabbits, guinea pigs & livestock - I may want to chase them
• Small children due to being mouthy & bouncy

My best features:
• LOVE people
• Happy to hang out with other dogs
• Very playful
• I can sit on command
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog. I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks.

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be a bit bouncy -training should stop this
• I can be erratic on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
• I am shy at first with new people and in new environments so will require a family who will take their time allowing me to settle in and continue on with my socialisation
• Unsure in new situations - more socialising is needed
