What a gorgeous young man Patch is. He is lovely fawn and white boy, nearly 2 years old, unraced and not interested in chasing. He is an old soul; quiet, gentle, calm and placid. He has lived inside with the family, including a 2-, -3 and 7-year-old, a cat, a Jack Russell, a Jack Rusell x dachshund puppy and a Chihuahua.
Patch is not fazed by any of that, or even the chickens. He has stood in the chook pen with them and not taken any notice. Such a good boy! He is a bit shy in new environments and takes a bit of time to come out of his shell, but he is gentle and not fearful, and much happier if he has a dog friend to live with. He will take his time to get to know you, but your patience and just letting him come to you when he is ready will be worth it.
He really loves his quiet early morning walk at the nature reserve and is easy on the lead, not chasing any kangaroos or birds along the way. He might have a little run around the yard first thing in the morning and a shorter walk or sniff in the yard in the afternoon but, basically, he's pretty happy to lie about most of the day and is very low maintenance.
Patch is much braver meeting new people when he has a buddy and would be suitable for homes with young families to retirees, especially if they have another dog and live in a relatively quiet environment. Cats are fine, too. He does love a sleep on couch and someone being around, but can cope alone if you go out, or has a doggie friend for company.
