All about me...
Mum and Dad adopted me last year when I was 3, and I now live on a 12.5 acre property in the Adelaide Hills with my brother Jackson, a Golden Retriever. I'm quite embarrassed to say that I was a bit overweight and unfit when I arrived, but now after losing more than 12 kilos....I feel FANTASTIC!!! I now just love to run...and run, and run. I love going for walks through the bush on our property and looking for Echidnas, Koalas, Possums then telling everyone when I find one (...and I won't stop until everyone has seen what I've found). Mum and Dad are especially proud of me when I do that at 2am in the morning (least I think so???) I may look big and tough, but I have a sensitive side..I like spending time in the kitchen, the couch, the bed, and I'm a bit of a sook.....(I swear the vaccuum cleaner is out to get me!!). When I'm not busy, I like to sit on the porch and soak up the rays...life's grand!!
I really love...
FOOD!!!...(what more can I say)

- Teach your child to interact appropriately with dogs and not to 'play-fight' or play 'tug-of-war' games with them. Dogs can get overexcited or frightened if there is a lot of noise. So put your dog out of the way when children are playing loud games and running around.
- Teach your dog to sit before you allow visitors to stroke it. Allowing it to jump up on people may frighten or annoy them, and children may feel very intimidated by the dog’s behaviour.
- If you see a dog with its owner,always ask the owner for permission to pat the dog. Allow the dog to sniff the back of your hand first. If it is happy to be patted, it will sniff your hand and move towards you. You can then stroke the dog under its chin.
- Take your dog to puppy pre-school or dog obedience school. It is very important for dogs, in particular puppies, to be socialised with other dogs and people. Remember - if your dog is trained and issued with a training certificate, you will receive a rebate on your dog registration fee.
- Dogs can be scared by sudden disturbances. Scared dogs may bite. Always call the dog first so that you do not surprise it. Do not go near any dog when it is eating its meal or chewing a bone, especially if you do not know the dog. If you approach, the dog may bite to defend its food.
