Flossy

Flossy Staffy x
18 kilos
So much happy energy, she is a sweet loving girl, loves people and provides lots of kisses, cuddles and tummy rubs. Flossy has a beautiful nature, with a hint of cheeky in a cute puppy way. She loves showing how much she cares and follows you wherever you go, humans and dogs alike. We think she is absolutely amazing, a pleasure to spend time with and makes you smile whenever she wags her tail. Her fur is divine soft, silky, and smooth! We have not noticed much shedding either which is bonus. With new people Flossy can either be immediately in your face or a little shy. Flossy spends most of her day inside, enjoys a few walks, plays outside nicely on her own and enjoys cuddling on the couch before heading to be bed with our little Miss.

OBEDIENCE Flossy will sit, she will come when you call her, she loves chew toys, ropes, and squeaky balls. She will still steal items she is not meant to have in her mouth and can be occasionally mouthy when over excited. She will settle with a sit command and using your voice. She loves running in the yard with us, playing chess with the kids, and sometimes plays ball. We take her out for two walks for general outdoors enrichment, she is great on the lead, loves stopping sniffing and taking in the world smells.

ENRICHMENT Flossy has great energy, she rarely barks, she will occasionally get startled by neighbouring dogs or birds. She will need stimulation as she still enjoys chewing, she does choose her toys from her toy box as a first choice. When alone for long periods, we offer her bones or toys, she has NOT displayed any destructive behaviours.

SLEEPING She has been sleeping in the laundry or with our daughter, usually from 9:00pm until 7:00am. She will sleep anywhere if allowed, she is very well behaved.

SOCIALISATION Flossy is very friendly with dogs, and wants to play immediately. She can be vocal when playing with other dogs and bark for attention. As she is young, a suggestion would be to continue with a controlled socialisation program with the assurance the dogs she is meeting are also behaviour testing.

FOOD She is eating SavourLife Puppy, she enjoys her food although she is a grazier. She loves bones and has been enjoying Savourlife training treats.

HYGIENE Flossy is exceptionally clean, her coat is gorgeous and does not have a doggy smell, however if she finds mud, then you must bath her.

TRAVEL/CAR She needs encouragement to get into a car and will need help up into large vehicles. She requires more practice in this area as this is not her favourite as it has only ever involved pounds and Vets.

IDEAL HOME: We feel Flossy would thrive in a home with a family that is regularly home and very inclusive. Flossy would probably prefer to be an inside dog with easy outside access, giving her the freedom to go about her day. Her family will need to invest time in ensuring she has daily enrichment because she is both intelligent and cheeky. She will need space as he loves to run so a decent yard is required. Flossy is the best kind of canine companion, sweet, affectionate, intelligent, extremely responsive. She would love to live with a family that loves cuddles and ok with kisses.
