About Max
Hi! I'm Max and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR MAX
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/cN9Axdgj6XnA7Cdf6
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• BREED EXPERIENCE preferred
• Being an active breed I have a lot of energy so an active family is a must!
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) is a MUST!
• Lots of mental stimulation is needed so I don't become restless and bored.
• 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.
• I LOVE other dogs but I'm a very energetic and playful dog, so I need a doggy playmate who will match my energy levels and playfulness.
• I LOVE water and would love to have my very own clam pool to laze around in.
• I can't go to a home that already has cats, rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them
• 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.
• A slow feeder bowl as I eat my food too quickly
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 due to being mouthy & bouncy
• CATS, NO POCKET PETS AND NO POULTRY - I find them way too exciting and will bark at and chase them
My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• I can sit
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Happy to hang out with other dogs
• Social butterfly
• I LOVE toys, playing fetch and a game of tug-o-war
• Exuberant & full of beans
• I LOVE the water and will splash about in my clam shell poo, play with the hose and swim in the basin/river
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I am very bouncy and mouthy -training should stop this
• I am strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
