Why a 14–18 Week Puppy Is the Sweet Spot

• Easier to train – they actually listen and learn faster
• Fewer accidents – better bladder control = less mess
• More sleep – longer nights, fewer wake-ups
• Already started socializing – more confident and adaptable
• Safer to explore – further along with vaccinations
• Less nipping – past the worst of the bitey phase
• More independent – not quite as full-on as a tiny puppy
• Personality shows – you can pick a pup that truly suits you

·       Bottom line: You skip the most exhausting baby phase… but still get all the bonding, training, and fun of raising a puppy.

Meet Banjo – a rare cream-coloured Miniature Schnauzer with the gentlest of souls, born on 1 January 2021.

Banjo is a beautiful, sensitive little gentleman who is looking for someone with a kind heart, a gentle nature and the patience to help him flourish. He isn't the sort of dog who wears his heart on his sleeve. Instead, Banjo forms quiet, meaningful bonds and shows his affection in subtle, gentle ways that make earning his trust all the more rewarding. He simply needs someone who will allow him to settle at his own pace and gently introduce him to all the wonderful experiences the world has to offer, helping him build confidence along the way.

Banjo has always enjoyed the companionship of other dogs and would ideally love a home with a friendly canine companion or with someone who is home much of the time. He has had very little exposure to children and has spent more time around women than men, so a calm, peaceful household would suit him best. A gentle, kind-hearted person, perhaps someone who is retired and has the time to devote to him, would be an ideal match.

Banjo has recently had a professional dental clean, has been DNA tested clear, and has enjoyed excellent health throughout his life. We hope he continues to enjoy many more happy and healthy years with the family who is lucky enough to welcome him into their home.

Banjo won't be the dog who rushes up to greet every stranger, but for the person willing to understand him, he will quietly become a loyal and devoted companion. We are searching for a very special home that will appreciate his gentle nature, respect his sensitive soul and give him the opportunity to become the very best version of himself.

Please note that we are committed to finding Banjo the right home, not simply the next home. We would much rather wait for the perfect family than rush this very special little boy into a situation that isn't right for him. As with all of our dogs, careful consideration will be given to ensure Banjo is matched with the home that best suits his unique personality and needs.

If you feel you have the time, patience and loving heart to help Banjo grow in confidence and become your faithful companion, we would love to hear from you.

Banjo can go to the right family for $2500.

How long does it take for a dog to bond with new owners?

Many sources cite a “3-3-3 rule” for dogs who move into a new home: three days of disorientation, three weeks to settle in, and three months to feel secure and bonded and “be themselves.” But while this general idea has merit—a dog will need time and space to get comfortable—there's no telling how long it'll take for ...21 Apr 2023

Abby is a truly stunning chocolate merle Toy Poodle, born on 23 August 2025, who is now searching for a very special forever home. She is an exceptionally beautiful young girl who has been lovingly raised and meticulously cared for from the very beginning. Her radiant health, sparkling eyes and happy nature are a reflection of the wonderful life she has enjoyed, something that is evident in every one of her photographs.

This is not a decision her owners have made lightly. Their previous beloved dog was a treasured member of the family who lived to the wonderful age of 16 years. Sadly, due to their own declining health, they have come to the heartbreaking realisation that they can no longer offer Abby the active, fulfilling life she deserves. Their love for her is so great that, despite the sadness this brings, they have chosen to put Abby's future before their own feelings.

They are hoping to find a kind, loving person or family who will cherish Abby, include her as a valued member of the family, and provide her with all the love, care and wonderful experiences that life has to offer. In return, Abby has many happy years ahead to become a loyal and devoted companion to the fortunate people who welcome her into their hearts and home. If you think you can offer this beautiful girl a forever home, please email through the website or message Rose on 040 3112431.

We would like to ask $2000 for Abby but more importantly, we need the right person to come forward.
