Meet Kevin and Pip! 

Quick facts 

Kevin is a full sized male with black and brown short hair, he is 3 years old 

Pip is a mini female with black and brown short hair, she is 2 years old 

About Kevin: 

Kevin is a very loving dog who loves to be around people and included in the family. Out of the two, Kevin is more likely to be with you on the couch or eager to go on a walk with you. He is a great companion to have, but can be a little anxious and protective when out and about. Kevin is very protective of Pip and likes to know that she is around. 

About Pip: 

Pip is quite independent, she will spend her summer days laying in the sun, and the winter ones under blankets on their bed. She is very attached to Kevin and will make sure he’s close, even sitting on top of him instead of next to. She is very relaxed and just goes with the flow, she’s quite playful and will rough house with Kevin often. 

Personality highlights 

Kevin: he responds well to come, sit and wait. He loves learning and exploring, especially with someone he has bonded with. He is very loving and will take any opportunity to cuddle with you on the couch or bed. He loves chasing balls of any size, however doesn’t know how to bring them back, he particularly loves chasing soccer balls when people are playing. 

Pip: she also responds well to come, sit and wait. She loves being under blankets and in very warm environments. She will take any opportunity to sleep with you in bed and give you a cuddle. She will happily go on walks and loves being outside in the yard. She mostly just likes being near Kevin and if she isn’t after a cuddle will be laying down somewhere by herself. 

Current training 

Kevin: 

House- both have access 24/7 to the yard and take themselves out when they need the toilet. We have a dog door panel that can be given with the dogs. Both need to be locked outside when left alone otherwise they will destroy things(we think it is mainly pip). Both are okay if you are home and not with them, they sleep out in the house and we have our door closed. We keep a kennel outside for them and they are okay being out for a work day, they quite enjoy it if there is also a yard. 

Lead- he tugs sometimes when people or dogs approach but otherwise walks very nicely 

Social- he wants to socialise and play but doesn’t know how. He is quite anxious and if out on a walk will bark at people and animals, however if an animal or person comes into his home he is completely fine with them and doesn’t mind after a few barks. 

Pip: 
House- both have access 24/7 to the yard and take themselves out when they need the toilet. We have a dog door panel that can be given with the dogs.

We keep a kennel outside for them and they are okay being out for a work day, they quite enjoy it if there is also a yard. 

Lead- walks very nicely, doesn’t pull or anything, every so often she playfully ‘nips’ Kevins ears(she always nips the air not him, we are unsure why she does it, but she does it while still walking and then moves on) 

Social- doesnt know how to play with other dogs but you can tell she wants to, she is otherwise very friendly with other dogs in and outside of the home 

Daily Care - Both  

Diet: Royal Canin Mini Adult Dry Dog Food 

Exercise: Enjoys daily/regular walks, max seems to be 4-5km. Shorter walks if daily, longer if every other 

Sleep: both sleep well on their bed in the lounge room but won’t say no to sleeping in a bed, thye like to sleep covered under blankets and re-cover themselves through out the night 

Behaviour: No food or toy aggression with eachother or carers, kevin eats his food in 20ish seconds while pip nibbles, however kevin will eat anything left around so its important to move things to higher ground before leaving the room 

Kevin and Pip would flourish in a home that offers: 

- Patient and understanding owners committed to continuing Kevin’s socialization journey 

- A secure yard and 24/7 access to it 

- Understanding that they needs time to warm up to new people(especially Pip) 

- A loving family with lots of cuddles to share 

Health Status 

Both - Desexed, Microchipped, Fully vaccinated, Flea and tick and wormed.
