Here's an update on my handsome boy Titan.

First things first, we would like to thank all the girls at SPCA Feilding for letting us adopt Titan into our family. He is a lovely natured dog who loves hugs and cuddles and wants to please everyone he meets - not sure whether this is the Staffy or the Labrador in him!

He has settled in really well, gets on great with his brother, Oscar the cat, and has finally learnt not to chase him! Last month we graduated from the first stage of obedience school in Feilding and were awarded the best dog and trainer!  Looking at doing the intermediate course next round.  He's learnt to sit, stay, down, come and his latest tricks are to shake hands and carry the newspaper inside for me.
He is still uncertain if he gets growled at by us or if voices get raised - tends to cower down .  This gets a bit tricky when we try to let him know he has done something wrong (like landscaping the front lawn!) but we are learning more and more about him and getting around these little issues.
We recently had friends come around to our house who haven't been here
before and haven't met Titan.  Unfortunately we weren't home.  As they
walked through the gate, this great monstrosity of a dog appeared from
around the side of the house running straight at them.  They said he raced up, promptly laid down in front of them and rolled over to get a tummy scratch! Just as well we didn't chose him for his guard dog abilities!
Titan is a much loved mummy's boy and a very welcome member of our
family!

Thank you once again for the opportunity to get to know this handsome young dog and make him ours.

Keep up the fantastic work you all do
Kind regards

Sue and Jeremy
