Hi friends. I’m Kaper! It’s great to see that you would like to get to know me better, I’m really grateful.

So, where shall I start? OK, well first things first it’s important to tell you that I’m a big ball of energy. I have bags of it and I rarely seem to tire out. That’s why the humans here think I’d be best suited to a working home where I can be on the go all the time, keeping both my mind and body busy. I can’t tell you much about life before Gables, I can’t really remember and the lovely people here don’t have very much information at all.

What I can tell you is that I love to run around and have lots of fun. I’m a playful boy, especially if you have lots of toys for me to enjoy. I’ll happily play tug with you but I also enjoy fetch, I love playing with other dogs too, I’m usually very polite and respectful but I do enjoy a good game of chase if the other dogs is happy to play too. I like a little bit of fuss, on my terms, but I don’t like to be molly coddled. I’m quite an independent young man.

I’m not perfect and recently I did get quite argumentative with the vet which means I will need to wear a muzzle for vet checks. I’m easily over stimulated, sometimes even just a bit too much fuss can set me off into a having a silly moment where I will grab and mouth out of frustration. The staff think that the environment here might be adding to my stress so the quicker I can find a forever home the better. To make sure I am nice and safe I will need to wear a muzzle for at least the first 6 months after I’ve been adopted and hopefully, with the right home and training, these behaviours will subside. I will however need to be kept on the lead in public at all times.

I’m a lovely boy but I need a very active lifestyle to keep me happy. My new owners will need to be experienced with high energy active breeds and be fully committed to keeping me well exercised and my mind stimulated. This is why I really need to be in working home, a farm would just be the best life for me. I’m super intelligent and I am ready and willing to learn. If you have the kind of home I need then I’d really appreciate you filling out the application form. Hopefully I’ll be seeing you very soon.
