Dorian

Hi everyone, I’m Dorian and I am part of the Bodybuilder Litter. I arrived into care under Belle Vie's Last Litter Program. My previous owner reached out after finding out her dog was pregnant! But boy have I had the best start to life. Right from the beginning I was put on top quality food and worming. I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful owner and my life is only going to get better once I find my forever home, is that with you?

When I first arrived in care I was a little shy and unsure what another dog was… my foster brother was a lot bigger than me so I would run away from him. After just a couple of days I was instigating play time and would jump all over him eager to play. My favourite thing to do is steal his toy and run away so he chases me. I also play fantastic with my sister and when we aren’t cuddling we are playing. My favourite toy is as simple as an empty water bottle, I love it crinkling but also enjoy some squeaky toys.

I absolutely adore every person that I meet and am always up for a cuddle. I am just a puppy though and still learning not to jump up when I get excited, so please be mindful if you have small children in my forever home. I don’t mean to play nip when I get excited but I am still learning. I also respond very well to the word “no” and will sometimes even go sulk when I get in trouble. I will definitely grow out of any puppy habits so I will need a patient owner ready to train me and have me become the best dog ever. I have met cats and don’t seem too interested in them. I can give them a little bark from a distance and have only chased them once when we first met… after I got hissed at I just observe them from a distance. I’m intelligent already know how to sit and will sit for my food. I’m exceptionally good with my toilet training and have only had one accident inside, which I was just over excited and forgot where I was! I’m currently being crate trained at night and barely cry now, only when I need to go to the toilet and have never once had an accident over night.

I love my food and can be prone to scoffing it down. I also love when my foster mum throws kibble in the grass and I have to use my nose to sniff it out. It’s such a fun game that keeps me entertained and definitely wares me out!
I am definitely the most well behaved puppy my foster mum has ever had. I am the best of both worlds and absolutely love to play but when I am tired I will go take myself into a corner and go to sleep, or will also enjoy a good cuddle on the couch with you. I can whimper a little when left alone but I settle within 5 mins and go to sleep. My foster mums favourite trait about me is that I LOVE belly rubs. I will lay on my back for as long as you want while you scratch my belly. I also am hilarious with a hose and will run around trying to bite the water.

My mum is a beautiful cattle dog and although unknown it is believed that dad was a boxer.

I really am the best boy and cannot wait to have a forever family of my own. I hope that’s with you. Please read below on how to apply to adopt me or message Belle Vie!
