Alfred

Alfred is a 6 month old Cavoodle pup, looking for his new home. Alfred with the darker coat, is with his brother Giles (lighter coat.)
Alfred came to us with his 4 brothers and 2 sisters after their owner became too ill to look after them.
Everyone knows the Cavoodle breed now, they are a mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and poodle. The Cavoodle is a lively and very affectionate companion - they enjoy being part of the family unit and love to participate in the activities of the day. Cavoodles have a very gentle nature and can make wonderful companions for children. They can be quite vocal and can bark when visitors arrive, like most dogs! However, they are not aggressive. The Cavoodle is an intelligent dog that thrives with regular training and human interaction. They are not suited to being left alone at home for long periods during the day. They need daily walks - regular trips to your local dog park - will help keep your cavoodle's energy levels under control. They should enjoy socialising with other dogs and are easily trained.
Cavoodles usually do not shed and are often recommended for allergic people. Their coats do take a great deal of care though, generally requiring professional grooming every 6 weeks as well as regular combing and brushing at home. Their ears need frequent cleaning or they may become infected, daily teeth brushing is recommended, but not every dog tolerates it, unless commenced at a very early age. Eyes also need special attention and cleaning to prevent a build up eye discharge and tear staining.
If you want to own a Cavoodle, you need to be prepared for all the extra chores that come along with the responsibility of owing a pet.
Alfred will require good, secure fencing and gates (preferably Colourbond) to keep him safe and secure. This breed is highly sought after still, and thefts are not uncommon. Alfred would love another dog his own size to play with and to keep him company.
He comes de-sexed, fully vaccinated, wormed, with heartworm yearly protection (SR12 Proheart.)
At present, he spends his days playing and running around in the mud with all his friends - he will need some lead and recall training by his new owner.
Alfred will make a wonderful family pet and it should be remembered that a dog is for life - you need to be prepared to love and care for hi, for the next 12-14 years. In return, you will be rewarded with a loyal, affectionate pet. Please do NOT apply to adopt Alfred if you are unable to travel to Kempsey NSW to pick him up from his foster carer.
