Some cute shots of
Zeus our Customs pup we're looking after/training got uploaded to
Flickr.
We got Zeus when he was around 10 Weeks (usually its 8 Weeks, but due to my 21st, building fences around our backyard etc we delayed it), he was the first labrador we'd looked after (Golden Retrievers before that). Right now he's 4 1/2 months, scoring well on his monthly tests that customs do (quite high marks!) but unfortunately a little stubborn.
What are you doing with a Australian Customs Pup?
Well we decided to adopt a customs pup because we miss having a dog, I needed a hobby that didnt involve looking at a monitor and needed to get myself to be somewhat more fit than I am currently. This is all volunteer work, Customs does the bulk of the work - food (strict diet), vaccinations etc. We just take care of him, train him basic doggy stuff and let him socialise with other dogs, animals and people (shopping center's etc)... Its loads of fun. Right now he's starting to make the most of his new teeth by eating through all his toys (white fluff everywhere outside!) and digging holes, making cute moaning noises when he wants attention and *LOVES* to play keep-things-off-zeus, cricket (he loves to field...) and the occasional soccer.
If your an aussie and want to look after a customs pup give the Australian Customs Services a ring and ask them for more info, its definately worth the effort!
