Little Mr. Sunflower aka ( Sunny ) is now seeking his forever home.
He is a 10 week old puppy who absolutely is a charming sweet boy.
Sunflower is a Jack Russell x Heeler x Staffy who only weighs in at 4.5 kilos.so based on this we feel he will be a small size med a full groth
Sunflower is an extremely playful little boy who loves to play with his toys, chases & wrestles with his sister. Sunflower loves to be near his humans. He is always happy to see you and loves to follow and play with you.

Travelling in the car
Sunflower travels fine in the car; he was very calm and settled during his travel to and from his vet appointment.
Food
Sunflower has been fed twice a day with Savour Life dry puppy food. However he’s a slow eater. Some encouragement is needed for him to finish his bowl.
Outside
He loves to chase his sister around when they are allowed in the backyard. He loves to explore the garden too. He is managed well in a small property as he is a puppy, although a larger property will be better for him to run around and expel his energy.
Visitors / People
At his foster home he lives with two kids under the age of 12 and his foster parents. He has been introduced to some visitors and was so excited to meet them. He loves his cuddles and pats and can get quite excited and paw, lick and mouth when playful.
Enrichment
Sunflower loves soft toys especially whatever his sister is playing with. He also chews on things like socks and blankets. He will need lots of toys to choose both inside and outdoors.
Independence
On sunny days he spends time on the alfresco with his sister. When left alone, he plays with his sister with toys. When exhausted he cuddles up in their kennel and sleeps. On cold and rainy days, he prefers spending time inside, so as soon as he sees his foster humans, he whines and wants to come inside and interact with the family.
Walks / Lead Experience
We have yet to take him out for walks due to his age/vaccination just being done.
Obedience
Training on simple commands such as come and drop has been started. As Sunflower is only a puppy he is yet to master these commands. The same puppy food is used as rewards when training. Sunflower is a good listener and with ongoing training we are sure he will become a loyal family member.
Inside
When inside he still wants to follow his humans or play with toys or sister. As he is a very energetic pup, he only sits down to chew his toy teddies.
Sleeping Habits
Sunflower has been sleeping inside in a doggy crate. After dinner, he spends one to two hours in the outside pen and come inside for some interaction time with the family. Being so active, he goes to bed without trouble after 8pm. He is taken out to toilet at around 10pm and return back to sleep in his crate as soon as it’s done.
Toilet Training
When Sunflower wakes up around 7.30am he is taken out for toileting. After his meal times (around 8am and 6pm) he is taken out for toileting. During the day he is usually taken out to the garden every two hours to enable him to recognise to go outside for the toilet. Sometimes during the day, he goes near the gate of the pen and cries when he wants to go out to the toilet. During the night he usually wakes up once between 1-3am and starts crying to signal that he wants to go out.
