Toby has been with us since he was three months old and we know him well.  He is a sweet but active boy who would love a friend to play with.  His only bad habit is mouthing.  We’ve stopped him nipping but still working on this.

Toby is the biggest snuggle bum in history. He likes nothing more than to curl up on your lap, at your feet, or on another dog. He does nothing by half, so when playing it’s at a million miles an hour, and when its napping, his little tongue pokes out and there’s no disturbing him. When he lays down or stretches he groans like the weight of the world is coming off his shoulders.

He’s mastered sit, shake and stay really quickly and is very food motivated.

Toby loves people. Regardless of what he’s doing if he hears his name he will come racing to you to see what’s happening. He’s the first to greet you when you get home.

He lets you know that he’s a bit unsure by making a beeline to you and getting as close as possible. But mostly he’s just a happy little guy. You can tell his level of excitement from how fast his tail is wagging – peak happiness sees his whole body wiggle and his tail turn into a propeller.

Toby has spent the majority of his time with other dogs as companions so would be great for him to go somewhere that has a friend for him, but given his level of love for people he might be ok with an active family.  He is pretty full on though so would need a (tolerant) puppy friend and/or a family that can match his energy. He’s very interested in the cats but won’t go near them unless he’s got a mate for back up, then bolts if the cat moves.

Does bark a bit at other dogs but only playfully.
