About Brazil
What a gem of a dog!
Brazil is a beautiful and sweet little dog who is approximately 4.1kg. She is very friendly with people and happily greets new friends and visitors. If you let her, she will smother you in excited kisses on your face to tell you how much she loves you. Brazil loves nothing more than to be in your company – she is such a loveable little dog. Whether you are working from home or chilling on the couch, she will be curled up right by you or in your lap. She also loves pats and affection as seen by her very waggy tail. Brazil not only brings a happy joy to your home but also a fun energy. She has a spunky attitude when playing with her ball and thoroughly enjoys playing fetch. This athletic and spritely dog has a good balance between activity and snuggle time – what more could you ask for!
She has always lived with another dog and is now in foster care with several. Brazil is dog social and will be looking for a home with another friendly small to medium sized dog with the right personality. She can be timid when first meeting other dogs but once she knows them, she quickly becomes comfortable to be herself as long as they are not rough with her. Brazil would love a doggy pal in her new home that can keep her company, who won’t mind sharing the humans and will let her have her ball chasing time without interfering. A middle aged or older dog would be ideal who would be happy for a companion. They should be a fairly easy-going personality and it would be better if they were not an anxious type so they could be a good role model for Brazil.
Brazil is a relatively active dog who will require a daily walk (minimum 30mins but 45-60mins better). She walks very well on the lead with a harness and has nice manners out and about. Loud noises, like heavy vehicle engines and sudden bangs, spook her so we will be looking for a home in a quieter area, or at least where the regular walk is done in a quieter area away from busy roads. Brazil has been living as an outside only dog so her new owner will need to be prepared to polish up her toilet training during the settling in period by taking her out regularly.
Any type of training or mental activity is right up Brazil’s alley. She’s a smart cookie who is food motivated and highly trainable. With clear guidance she learns things quickly and using her brain definitely tires her out! Brazil takes treats gently and sits nicely upon request. She is crate trained and sleeps there throughout the night until she’s ready to be let out for a morning toilet. Don’t be fooled though, if you let her sleep in the bed, particularly under the covers when its cold, she won’t say no! Brazil will need a home with a yard for toileting and ball games so is not suited to unit living. After previously being locked outside due to an owner’s allergies, she will fret and bark at the door to be let back in. Her new owner will need to be prepared to help her settle into her new environment and build up leaving her alone in the house slowly. This training has been progressing very well in her foster home and there is no reason to believe that she will have issues being left home with a doggie friend for company in the future as long as she has an indoor area to be in.
We are looking for a dog experienced home for Brazil where she will be a true part of the family and have lots of human company inside. We will be looking for a home where someone is home most of the time and where there is another suitable doggy companion (see details above). Brazil’s new home should be fun and active but not too loud or crazy. She is ok to live with cats who don’t bully her and older children (>12yo) who understand that loud noises would spook her. It would be ideal if her new family had breed experience with this type of small active terrier (like Mini Foxies or Jack Russells). Brazil is a wonderful little dog who is going to slot in easily to a new home and bring a lot of love and joy to the household.

Don't see a breed attached to one of our dogs? That's because we don't breed label dogs of unknown genetic history. We can't guess at breeds but that's okay, because we can tell you about the dog's individual personality, character, and behaviour.
