ABOUT ME

I have been called Staffy most my life and bear many of the breed's traits - loyalty, fearlessness, natural fondness for people, affection for my friends, off-duty quietness, trustworthy, stability, disciplined and most importantly house trained! Being surrounded by animals is very satisfying and enjoyable and I/my family truly love the companionship and time spent with each furry friend.

My family has been caring for puppies and dogs of all ages and behaviours for a little while now and experiences include: Australian terrier, beagle, bishon frise, border collie, cavoodle, chihuaha, cocker spaniel, corgi, dachshund, fox terrier, golden retriever, jack russell, kelpie, cavalier, labrador, Lhasa apso, malshi, moodle, maltese, papillon, pomeranian, poodle, pug, schnauzer, shih tzu, smithfield heeler, spoodle, staffy and whippet.

We live in a one-level air conditioned brick house up off the road with one human sofa and one animal sofa - who am I kidding - they’re both animal friendly sofas. The grassy backyard approximately 150sqm, is fully fenced (standard 1800mm to 4200mm in some areas) with pool regulated gates, large pergola shaded area in morning and by afternoon naturally shaded and breezy. The backyard also has a two storey cubbyhouse with slide for the adventurous ones. There is a dog pool in the backyard but kept empty if there are little ones visiting.
