Beethoven *On Trial*

*currently trialling his new home* beethoven, is one of 4 healthy, happy puppies who were born on 27 november 2010. Their mum bonnie, a very sweet natured terrier cross was surrendered to sarg by balranald shire council a week after they were born. We’re unsure of who dad was but we suspect he might’ve been a shih tzu cross as all the pups have lovely curly fluffy fur whereas mum has more finer, silky, scruffy hair.

beethoven has a beautiful gentle nature and you can do just about anything with him, he’s a fairly laid-back kinda puppy and doesn’t mind being bossed around by his sister’s! \ this little teddy bear is the biggest of the pups and appears to be developing his mum’s longer legs. Beethoven isn’t fussy about food and even loves a play in water and when he’s not galloping around with his sister’s he loves nothing more than curling up in your lap for some quiet time. All of the pups get along well with their carers other little dogs and the cat, who is often found happily playing with them. They’re used to being handled by adults as well as children and are pretty much “bomb proof”. Their carer has put lots of time and love into them – they already know to go to the toilet on the lawn and will happily lie on their backs for ages for a tummy rub – the 4 of them look so cute lying belly-up in a row wanting a tickle!!!

as beethoven is only a young puppy he will require ongoing obedience training as well as socialisation with other dogs so he grows up to have lovely manners. Daily walks or runs around the backyard, secure fencing and toys to keep him stimulated are also a necessity so he doesn’t get bored and up to mischief. Beethoven will need regular brushing and a clip a few times a year to keep that stunning coat in tip-top condition. Beethoven would be best suited to an indoor / outdoor lifestyle with either a doggie companion to learn from or on his own but only if he won’t be left alone for long periods of time especially while he’s a pup.
