American Staffy - female
Pumpkin is an absolutely gorgeous female Staffy. She is Miss Personality, a real crowd pleaser and makes new friends wherever she goes. She is funny and extremely endearing
she is great with people. Pumpkin would benefit from additional training, although she knows basic commands like sit and come. It would probably be best if you are an experienced dog owner, as she is a strong, athletic dog, who does react to other dogs she meets when being walked. She could probably be matched to other household pets providing they were robust (She used to live with another Staffy). If I were not going overseas in 6 weeks I would adopt her myself, she is that fabulous.

Jack Russell x Ridgeback - female
Cuddly, cutie, very adorable girl, submissive to her human friends but will play wonderfully with her siblings. She will do well with even a young family given her nature to please and be ready to wait her turn. She is great with my 5 year old who picks her up and plays housy with her. She just loves the company and is happy to be the replacement dolly. She will need training but given her genetics it's a guess as to how big she will grow. The usual walks, play and cuddles will make her a happy little companion. She's a heartbreaker, you won't want to leave her behind after you meet her.

Jack Russell x Ridgeback - male
What a great little chap with heaps of personality. Always up for a play, he gets along with his siblings so well. He's a very friendly happy boy. He has the JR colouring with the backwards facing fur line of the Ridgy but we have no idea how big he will grow given the genetic combination. He loves his food and is learning to share nicely. Come and see this active guy and you'll want to take him home.

Jack Russell x Ridgeback - male
What a great puppy, the most laid back in the group of 4 I have. A bit shy to start he will fall asleep in your arms and happily be your inside companion. He seems content in his own company just as much as he can play when he feels like it with the others, which may suit if you are working. He would still need toys to keep him amused daily walks and to be part of your day to day life but otherwise time alone is not such a problem for this guy. He's a bit of a dozer often being the first to snooze after food and the last to get up and active. The genetic mix makes it hard to tell his ultimate size but he has the colouring of a JR without the ridgy furline down his back, so is smooth coated. He's a favourite with my children for his polite, non scratching, non mouthing, non jumping. manners

Jack Russell x Ridgeback - male
Gentle natured boy, he loves his family and wishes to be with them heaps. He will do well in training, but we have no idea how big he will grow. The mother was Ridgy the father JR so it's a guess as to how the genetics will decide the size. He has the colouring but not the backwards facing fur line. A real crowd pleaser this one. Lots of love to give and a wonderful nature for anyone.

Chihuahua x - female
Charli WAS a timid chi X that had been surrended. NOW she is a happy girl who although she is shy with strangers doesn't take long to warm up. She absolutly loves her chew toys, and loves nothing better than sitting at your feet (she's very loyal) or playing with other dogs. She would make a great companion for another dog. She walks well on a lead ( a harness is best) and this is a favorite part of her day. She absolutely loves food, so you do need to watch her weight and make sure she doesn't over eat. Although she is quite young she is reasonably quiet for her age. She wants nothing more than to please you.

Cross - female
Lola is a beautiful-natured girl who is 6 years old. Her papers say she is a Mastiff x Staffy, but she definitely has some Shar-Pei in her, and maybe some Irish Terrier which would explain her wiry brown coat. Lola is completely house-trained and loves to lie at your feet, or even better get a cuddle. She adores children, especially toddlers and has a very gentle nature despite her size (about 35kilos). She is fantastic with other dogs, and loves to have another dog groom her head! Lola loves everyone and always has a goofy smile on her face, and is always ready to introduce herself to new friends. She is obedient off-lead. Lola is just the most adorable dog, and already has quite a fan club of admirers in the city. She is currently living on a rural property, but is very much an inside dog who enjoys her creature comforts and is used to other dogs and people for company.

Maltese x Shih Tzu - female
Phoebe is a very sweet little girl with a typical happy Shih Tzu temperament. She is used to living in the house and is house trained. Phoebe is learning to walk on a lead and is learning quickly. She likes to run off lead and always comes back when called. Phoebe gets on well with other dogs and is used to having another dog for company so would prefer to go to a home with another small dog. She is also good with cats and travels well in the car. She is a little timid in her temperament when confronted with new experiences. She is being cared for in the Wollongong/Shellharbour area.
