Zippy

Description

Successfully rehomed by Battersea Dog Home

Zippy is a lively youngster looking for a new family who keep play at a constructive level and let him know from day one what the boundaries are.

He is an intelligent boy and picks things up quickly, so with consistency and training will fast become a well rounded dog with great manners.

Zippy can be a little unsure in new situations, and likes to take his time to sniff around and work things out himself, but at the same time enjoys a cuddle from his favourite people, and can't get enough of a gentle fuss!

He has good social skills with dogs and is both playful and tolerant.

Zippy will make a great addition to any household looking to put a bit of work into their new dog.
