Are you right for Cliff?

Cliff is looking for a patient family who is willing to train him with his toilet duties. Cliff will be able to live with children of 14+ as he can be quite jumpy when excited. Cliff must be the only dog within the home as he can be very enthusiastic with other dogs. However, he can have calm walking buddies when going out on adventures. Cliff can be left alone 1-4 hours, but this will need to be built up slowly.

Is Cliff right for you?

Cliff is a bundle of joy who is very friendly with everybody he meets. He can be a little nervous with new people, but if there is treat in sight, he will be your best friend for life! Cliff loves his exploring adventures so will be a fantastic new addition to an active family. He loves playing with his toys, especially with his tennis ball so will appreciate a family who is willing to play with him regularly.
