Milo is the happiest boy – exuberant, playful, loving and eager to learn. This social butterfly loves cuddles, attention and playing in water. Milo has recently proven he is a natural paddle board champion!

Milo is friendly with other dogs and settles into great play. He will need regular exercise and mental stimulation as his mind is active. Milo loves to learn new tricks and is food motivated and very trainable. He would excel at doggy sports or be someone’s running buddy when he’s an adult!

Milo has good recall. He knows his name, can sit, drop, shake, out on command and has shown he is eager to learn more commands and tricks. He walks well on lead but can pull a bit when he gets close to the park where he is usually allowed to run free and play with his friends. He is great with other dogs and people he meets out and about. As he is growing up he leaves dogs alone that he doesnt know but loves to play and greet his friends in the park or at the beach – human and dogs! He leaves small dogs or older dogs alone and is not annoying anyone at all that doesnt like his attention. Milo travels well in the car but can get a bit impatient if he goes on longer trips before he has stretched his legs properly. He sleeps in his crate at night with no problem but given the chance he would love to share the bed with his humans!

Milo’s ideal home is with an active person(s) or amongst a family who will give him attention, cuddles and importantly exercise and will make him an important part in their everyday lives. He can be left home alone with his foster sister during the day for some hours without a problem, but he needs to have enough exercise and playtime before he settles or he will entertain himself with whatever stuff he can find. At least in the beginning, his new people will be home most of the time to let Milo gain confidence and learn to relax when left by himself. Initially he cannot be left outside unsupervised because he may try to escape. He absolutely loves to play tug or play with a ball and he adores and has lived with kids before so older children that he cannot accidentally knock over would absolutely be possible.

Experience with working dogs and commitment to ongoing training would be best.

We believe Milo would like to live with another dog who likes to play, especially a game of tug and chase. His current foster sister is a little bit older and quite dominant and will tell him off if he is playing too rough and he happily accepts her setting the rules.

Milo is a lovely and beautiful boy and will absolutely thrive in a loving home. He will be a cracker of an addition to one very lucky family.

Thank you to Liv Morison of Liv Morison photography for the fantastic photos of Milo.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped, wormed and flea treated. All necessary vet work such as dentals, surgery, eye treatment is also carried out. We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
