Paddington

You will not find a more perfect puppy than Paddington!

This chunky boy is so incredibly stunning. His markings are just adorable and so unique with his black tail, tan coat and white paws and chest. Paddington then gives you these amazing puppy dog eyes and happy smile. If you are not already sucked in, then know that when you meet him it will happen. He has a beautiful temperament – so happy, stable and easy going. Paddington is social with all people he meets and loves to get attention. He enjoys climbing into your lap for cuddles and isn’t shy to try and give you a kiss as well.

Paddington won’t fit into your lap for long though. He is expected to grow to be a large sized and solid dog (think mastiff size and build). Paddington’s foster carer has made sure he and his siblings have had positive exposure to all things that could scare a little pup. He has been exposed to; rain, wind, thunder and lightning; vacuum cleaners and mowers; ladders falling and loud sounds. This early positive exposure will help set him up to be a confident adult dogs around all types of things, and his new owners should continue to socialise and expose him to a range of new places and environments.

While in care, Paddington has been living with some of his siblings and a range of other adult dogs. He loves to play with the others and trot along behind the adult dogs. His social skills with other dogs are strong and he is able to listen to queues from the adult dogs if it’s time to leave. Paddington is often on the go and loves to adventure and explore in the yard. It is expected that he will be a calm natured adult dog but will still require some daily exercise and mental stimulation.

Paddington has begun some basic training while in care. He is progressing well with toilet training and knows to go on the grass pretty well. At night, he bunks down with his siblings in the laundry, and they sleep through the night. Paddington also travels well in the car and did great at his first trip to the vet.

We are looking for a dog experienced home for Paddington, preferably with owners who have experience with large, solidly built dogs. He will require a family who is committed to his training to ensure that he grows up into a well-mannered dog who will be easily managed and able to enjoy his life. Paddington would love a home with another friendly dog but would also be fine as an only dog with the appropriate support and guidance during the transition period. He will need to be allowed inside to be with the family and will need a warm comfy bed inside to sleep on at night. Paddington will be fine to live with children and other types of pets with appropriate introduction and training. This stunning pup will be an amazing addition to his new home and will bring so much love to his family.
