More About Me
Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
This affectionate, quiet, young staffy (1yr) is good with dogs, cats and kids. 

Marley likes exercise, playing with other dogs and spending time with her family. Like most intelligent young dogs, she needs mental stimulation otherwise may dig or chew - especially if alone for long periods. 

Marley is social and friendly with other dogs and enthusiastically rushes into another dog's space wanting to say hello in a friendly manner.

Ideal Owner
Active singles or couples, perhaps with older kids, home more often than not looking for a friendly, social young companion. 

Marley would like another friendly dog for company but this is not essential.

While Marley is good with kids (and loves playing with them) 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. 

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

Marley 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
Quiet and rarely makes a sound
​
Marley will suit any of the following:
  • someone home more often than not.
  • stay at home parent.
  • someone that works from home.
  • part time workers.
  • empty nesters.
  • active retirees.

Marley is currently fine alone for half the day then becomes bored however, she is in a small yard with a busy family.
​
​​Exercise Requirements
High. Marley needs daily good quality exercise and mental stimulation. 


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.​
  • Ok with shoulder height fencing.
