Simba is lovely. He is very loyal to me and will stand at my side while the other dogs play around us. If he gets the ball he will run off with it and weave his way around the other dogs so that they cannot take it from him. He will then walk off by himself lay down drop the ball and start tugging up grass and throwing it all around and burying the ball with the grass. When I call him he will pick up the ball, and when I say 'drop the ball, Simba' he will drop it, and usually at Jack or Molly's feet so that they return it to me, or sometimes Simba will bring it back to me. He is a sweet hearted good natured dog, and Iove him heaps.

When Lass was first mated with Timba, I said to her 'I don't mind what you have Lass, but try to get me a curly coated red and white boy dog like Timba.' because up until then Lass had only ever had black or black tri puppies with Timba or Jack. On the morning the litter was born I wasn't home and my husband rang me to say 'Lass has had her puppies, four of them, all black, so she didn't fulfil your order.' I was sad about that, I was so sure she would. When I got home and went to see the puppies I lifted Lass's back leg and there attached to her teat was Simba, a glorious red and white curly coated boy puppy. I was elated, and quickly told my husband that Lass had fulfilled my order afterall!

Simba is so like Timba in looks, but he has his own personality, and we play a game together so that he gets the ball to play with before the other dogs get it first. I pretend I am going to throw the ball in one direction to fool the vast majority of dogs here, and then whisper to Simba; 'stay, I am going to throw it the other way for you.' Of course now I can just mouth the word stay and not utter it and Simba knows and stays put. He watches the other dogs career off in one direction and he starts to run in the other direction knowing I will throw it for him that way. And when I do he literally bounces happily and pounces on the ball, and he is so gleeful about it, I can almost hear him saying 'he he I've got it' as the other dogs are searching in the grass at the other end of the field for a ball that never landed at their feet.

I love Simba. He is a proven sire and he is available for stud. Just email if you need him. He is very quick but he does like to flirt a fair bit first. He is a romancer and he is submissive and sweet natured like his parents and brothers.
