AUSTRALIA’S soon-to-be First Pet may think he’s a cavoodle, but he’s yet to discover he is actually a little Bulldog.
News Prime Minister Julia Gillard is to be presented with a puppy for her 50th birthday has already brought the perks of office to the prized pooch.
The Western Bulldogs will sign up its No.1 female ticket holder’s new hound as a pet member.
And with honorary membership comes his little pet supporter’s pack, complete with travel water bowl and “Bulldog in Disguise” sticker for the rear window of Comm car 1.
Just a month old, it will be five weeks before ‘Little Monkey”, as he’s known by his breeders, leaves his brothers and sisters in Gippsland to take up residence at The Lodge.
The pet is a present from Ms Gillard’s partner, Tim Mathieson. Cavoodles can sell for about $1500.
Born to mum Ying, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and sired by Neelix, a miniature poodle, the pup is likely to grow up enjoying a dip in the property’s pool.
“Poodles are water spaniels and Little Monkey will probably be a keen swimmer,” said Liz Seear, from Billabong Creek Farm.
She said the designer dog was perfect for the busy power couple.
“They are the sort of people pets who don’t care who is minding them so long as there is someone there to play with,” Ms Seear said.
