ZIPPY is a lively young chap, who is friendly and affectionate. He loves playing frisbee, but doesn't always bring it back, and playing ball.

He is house-trained and knows some basic commands. Zippy can walk nicely on the lead and works well for treats when not distracted. He can sometimes be initially worried when meeting other dogs but is then keen on playing and can be a bit boisterous for some. He could live with another dog if the right energy match, but no other small animals.

Zippy shows great interest in moving objects, so new owners should be mindful off lead and ensure excellent recall before doing so. He is very keen on smells/scent so is currently being trained the 'find it' game, a scent based game to allow him to follow scent appropriately.

He could be left for 2-3 hours in a day, if entertained with dog puzzles/kongs, and comfortably sleeps through the night if he has had appropriate exercise/stimulation during the day. He could live with children aged eight plus.
