Maui is a black and tan boy with a long silky coat, who was born in May

2017. He is friendly around most people but slightly wary of men that he

does not know. He is great with kids, his own family, their friends

visiting and those that come up to him outside.

Maui will bark at strangers arriving at his home but has never shown

any aggression and will allow them in when told it is OK. He is

currently walked in a halti and does pull initially but then settles to

walk and sniff. He is interested in dogs that he sees, loves to play

when allowed, but will walk on when told. He sometimes barks at other

dogs but usually only if they bark first or stand to stare at him. _

Maui is fully house trained and knows basic commands, he can be left

for short periods with no problems.  He likes to go in the car and

settles well.  Maui is generally calm in the house and will settle on

his bed with a chew or a toy (which he loves to destroy). He can be

boisterous if there is a lot of lively playing going on.

Maui had a bad experience with a groomer and now does not like his feet

being touched although his current owner can trim them. New owners would

need to take things slowly to build up trust with Maui who also needs a

regular ear cleaning routine as he is prone to a build-up of wax. Once

he is fully settled new owners will need to arrange for Maui to be

neutered. 

Maui is a much-loved pet who is being reluctantly re-homed because

recent changes to living arrangements mean he is now restricted to 2

rooms and does not have the access to a garden and open countryside that

he has been used to. His owner is taking him on plenty of lead walks but

feels it would be in Maui's best interest to find a new home where he

can go back to having the freedom of the house and surrounds that he was

used to.
