Pepper - 10 Week Old Mixed Breed - on trial 2/1/23

Pepper is pure love and loyalty, offering both in abundance

10 week old mixed breed, small -medium size female puppy

Offering so much affection, you’ll never have a cold lap with this cuddlebug. Whilst Pepper loves to run and tumble with her siblings, it’s people company that impresses her most. And when those big puppy eyes look at you what choice do you have but to give another cuddle.

Typical puppy behaviour includes lots of waggy tail playtime followed by an equal amount of sleep, then eat. And repeat. Though her true personality is still emerging, Pepper shows intelligence, affection and loyalty. Pepper can be a bit pushy but it’s all just puppy bravado, as sometimes she can also be the quietest of the siblings.

Would be great to see her go to a home with another dog for company and to help educate her about doggie stuff. But a work from home scenario or where there are kids (over 5 years old) to play with her will also be considered. Being so young and friendly she should be good with dog-aware children, remembering she is small and easy to hurt if handled badly or dropped.

It’s expected Pepper will grow to be a small to medium size dog.

Pepper is crate trained and sleeping though the night however, is too young to be fully toilet trained. Some training to go, although puppy pee pads catch most of the mishaps and she is practicing really hard on grass, working to eliminate pee pads. She must be allowed inside and preference will be given to a home where she sleeps inside

Being so young, you’ll get the chance (and the responsibility) to have a massive impact on how healthy she grows up, her socialisation and most of all how well behaved she becomes via consistent training. Puppy School is highly recommended but is not essential if you are willing to be consistent with her training.
