Jilliby

Jilliby may seem a little reserved or aloof at first, but that is simply because he likes to take a moment to absorb the situation, take in all the smells, and work out what is going on around him. Once he realises the new people nearby are perfectly acceptable — and, ideally, come with pats — he begins to relax and his affectionate side starts to shine through.

He would be happiest in a calm, quiet household, as he is not really one for hustle and bustle. Jilliby is much more of a Sunday lazy-afternoon sort of boy, happiest in a home where life moves at a gentler pace and he can settle in comfortably.

With other dogs, Jilliby is quite gentle and polite. If he were to share his home with a smaller canine friend, a calm one would be best, as very excitable little dogs darting about or getting under his feet can leave him feeling a bit unsure.

Jilliby is not an especially high-energy fellow, but he does enjoy having a yard to explore and potter around in. Because he is happy to quietly amuse himself, he could suit a home with full-time workers, provided he has access to a yard where he can spend time investigating, relaxing, and keeping himself occupied.

If you are looking for a gentle, thoughtful companion with a quiet affectionate side and a love of calm, easy living, Jilliby could be your perfect match.
