Ideal Home: Owen and his siblings were found dumped by a river at approximately 4 weeks old. Lucky for them, some amazing people found them and got them to a safe place until we could take them into our care!

We are still learning about Owen's unique personality at the moment but we do know that he's a happy and sweet natured sort of fella who loves a good cuddle but also loves a good explore. He is still a wee baby so will need someone home with him during the day. A home familiar with working breeds would be ideal, but most of all a home that is prepared and willing to put in the work with a pup who is likely to be smart and who will need regular exercise. Another gentle female dog in the home that can teach him all the good things would be fab too - he has only had good experiences with other dogs so far. Being prepared to work your pups brain as well as their body is super important with babes of this breed. Owen is still young enough to learn all about kids (and has met young kids), he is in a foster home with cats, has met stock and chooks and just ignores them. Owen is already fantastic at toilet and will let you know he needs to go out. Any new home will need to be consistent with taking him out still of course. He will need hoomans prepared to continue his learning and socialisation and willing to teach him all the good things a puppy should know in order to be a great member of doggy society.

Owen must be allowed to live inside the home so he can be a real member of the family.
