Meet Fred
Breed: Australian Retriever
Barking from: Dunedin South, Dunedin
What's up dog?
Fred isn't just a pet; he's part of the family, Fred is a beautiful, loyal companion with a heart as big as his fluffy coat. Wherever he goes people stop to tell him how beautiful he is, to ask what he is and has he just been freshly groomed?! Despite his rugged looks, Fred has a gentle, affectionate nature. He's the kind of dog who'll patiently wait by your side, rest his head on your knee, and look at you like you're his whole world. Everyday Fred brings us joy & love. We have won the dog lottery with Fred.
