More About Me
Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
Loyal, affectionate, loving, generally quiet, stable and a trustworthy companion - like most staffys.

Penny loves the water and swimming. She will need a pool or pond to cool down in during summer.

Penny loves people and will give her new owner 'ooodles' of licks and kisses. 

Penny is not friendly with other dogs but adores people including kids. 
​
Ideal Owner
Active singles or couples looking for a devoted and loyal companion to spoil. 

Penny is ok for full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as she is a central focus when people are home.

She needs to be the only permanent dog in the home. 

While Penny is good with kids we recommend homes where any kids are at least teenagers and only if gentle and calm around dogs. No dog deserves to be rough housed or exposed to a loud, chaotic environment. 

She will not suit homes where people live in very close proximity to each other with small outside areas e.g. villas, units, apartment complexes, terrace houses, strata complexes etc. 

As Penny is people orientated she needs to be part of family activities.

Penny will not suit homes with residents that are:
  • very young, frail, elderly,
  • renters,
  • novice dog owners or
  • time poor. 
Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
Will alert to something strange but is not currently a nuisance barker.
​
Penny will suit any of the following:
  • someone home more often than not.
  • someone that works from home.
  • part time workers.
  • empty nesters.
  • active retirees.
  • full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as she is a central focus when folks are home.
​​
Exercise Requirements
Medium - playful and moderately active. Penny loves going for walks and running or chasing a ball.

When ON/OFF a lead ...
Like most dogs starts off pulling but settles. She is not usually allowed off the lead around other dogs as a precaution.

Type of Yard Required
  • Medium to large interesting and secure.
  • May take advantage of an open gate and wander off but does not usually try and escape.
