(We are no longer taking enquires for Honey)

Kia Ora Team!

Meet our girl Honey 🍯

Honey is a 11 month old (approximately) Husky cross

Honey is an extremely sweet and affectionate girl with a playful, loving nature. She thrives on interaction and enjoys cuddles just as much as playtime—be prepared for plenty of kisses. She’s a very clever dog who is likely to pick up training quickly, though she will need ongoing guidance and consistency. ❤️

Honey is sensitive by nature and can become upset if growled at by people, so she would do best in a calm, understanding home that uses positive reinforcement. She currently knows “sit” and will happily roll onto her back for a tummy rub. She will need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and secure containment, as she is an experienced escape artist who enjoys digging under fences.

Honey is known to be good with cats, children, and cows, but is not suitable for a home with chickens or sheep.
