Comet’s foster writes:

Meet Comet – an affectionate, soft-hearted boy who loves snoozing in the sun or soaking up the smells on a walkabout. He enjoys a good cow hoof and will be entertained for hours with one.

Comet is happy to occupy himself between walks and spends plenty of time sleeping in his favourite spots. He loves visiting new locations, especially anywhere with dogs. Anywhere he can sniff new smells is his happy place. He loves to run around playing chase with other dogs but is respectful of the golden oldies and gentle with puppies and small dogs.

Comet can be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up — and once he does, he’s the smoochiest, most affectionate boy you’ll ever meet!

He has been introduced to the city life and hasn’t had any issue with large numbers of people or strange noises and experiences.

Comet is housetrained and knows how to use a dog door, although he prefers to go when out on walks. He can be a bit too enthusiastic when walking so a front clip harness is recommended and more training is needed. He has not had crate training but happily sleeps on the floor or dog bed. He is food motivated and knows basic commands like sit and lie flat but is still working on consistency.

Comet would suit a household where someone is around most of the time, or one with another dog to keep him company.
