More about Benji

Meet Benji, our sweet little Daxi lad.
Benji’s favourite thing is to sit on someone’s laps for a fuss. He can be hesitant around new people, but it does not take him long to warm up and show his loving and affectionate nature. When meeting him, we recommend letting him come over to you in his own time and offering some tasty treats to win him round.

Benji is reactive to other dogs when he is on lead. This is very typical of the breed as any seasoned Dachshund owners can attest!
We think that Benji would prefer to be the only dog in the home but would benefit from some regular walking buddies. Once he has had a quick sniff of another dog, he will then be fairly independent and trot off to do his own thing.

Benji did previously live with cats so he could possibly live with a dog savvy cat with careful introductions.

He is looking for a new home that is away from the inner city where he can have access to quieter walking routes.
If you are looking for a cuddle buddy to keep you company, Benji may just be the dog for you.
