Description: Life. That's what it's all about for Leroy... his enthusiasm is contagious and his warm, open personality means he wins friends wherever he goes! Leroy is a young dog with a stunning, athletic physique and shiny, healthy coat which requires minimum attention. Not surprisingly, given his breed mix, he is one smart cookie - having already learnt to sit, wait, shake hands, fetch (and return) his ball and walk nicely on the lead. He enjoys socialising with other dogs and is most comfortable with those smaller than himself. Leroy seems genial towards cats and would be best suited to a home without small children given his boisterous tendencies. He appears fully housetrained, sleeps quietly through the night and rides quite happily in the car. He loves people and thrives on interaction with his 'pack' - happy just to lie near you in the garden while you potter or join you for an adventure on one of Canberra's many dog-friendly walking trails. With his 'slouch hat' ears and goofy grin, this sweet fellow is a true Aussie Dog with all the honest geniality that so many of them are known for. Leroy will thrive at dog training classes and will make his new owners very proud as he truly wants to please. Having been diagnosed with moderate hip-dysplasia, Leroy has been thoroughly assessed by a Small Animal Specialist Surgeon who has given him the ok to run, walk and play for many, many years to come. His favourite thing in the whole world is 'tennis' - he will catch and retrieve his ball for you for hours on end without fail. A truly loyal friend... who just wants a special place of his own to call home and a special person to love him and be loved by him in return.
