All about me...
Hi! My name is Bandit but my grandma and grandpa like to call me bandie. Mummy sais she should have called me sook because I don't act like a bandit at all. She sais I'm a chihuahua trapped in a staffy's body! I was rescued from a not-so-nice place when I was eight weeks old. My new mummy and daddy take good care of me and built me a home of my very own with a blue roof. When I was four months old they went to the pound and got me a friend to play with, Skittle. Me and Skittle are the best of friends and we love playing in the water but where we live there isn't much water so Daddy drives us out of town and we swim in a yabby dam. At night time we wear a shiny vest and chase rabbits! I haven't caught one yet but I think if I did I would just give it lots of kisses.
I really love...
Playing with my friend skittle and going swimming. One time at the beach I swam so far out I could hear mummy screaming cus she thought I would get hit by a boat. I saw her jump in the water with her clothes so I decided to come back. I like to chase things and my favourite treat is fritz!

- 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.
