Meet Nutmeg: Our affectionate, not-so-little explorer!

Posted by Brendan Cooper

Nutmeg was by quite some way the biggest in his litter. In fact, it’s fair to say that he’s a very big boy, much bigger than his five brothers and one sister.

Here's the family! From left to right: Clay, Whisky, Cracker, Comet, Rudolph, Jingle and the big one on the right is our Nutmeg. Yes, they were born at Christmas!

We're not quite sure which order they're in here. Any guesses which one is Nutmeg? Tell us in the comments below!

Nutmeg is a Cockapoo, and here he is with mum. She's the 'Cocker' part of 'Cockapoo'!

As well as his size, he's also recognisable by his colouring: apricot, with a white chin and chest, and a white ‘splodge’ on his nose.

Now he’s grown a little, he’s shown that he’s a real adventurer. Nutmeg is always looking for places to explore, around the house, in the garden.

It doesn’t matter where, because he’s so very bold.

He’s also extremely affectionate, so when the exploring ends, the fuss and attention begins!

Although sometimes he stops mid-adventure for a snooze. He particularly likes falling asleep with his head hanging out of the play tunnel.

He loves his food, so he’s growing, and growing, and growing. His mum adored her food too, so perhaps it runs in the family? One thing we’re fairly sure about: our affectionate, not-so-little explorer might soon become an affectionate large explorer!

We’re so looking forward to seeing how this intrepid pup will develop, and one day change a deaf person’s life. 

Thank you so much for sponsoring Nutmeg. Please look out for more Pupdates, but in the meantime let us know what you think of Nutmeg below! Maybe ask him a question, or ask our trainers something? Over to you!

Hi, I'm Brendan. I write all your sponsor pup updates, printed and online. It's a hard life, writing about cute puppies who, with your support, will grow up to help deaf people leave loneliness behind. I am partially deaf myself, so I have some insights into the challenges deafness can bring. However, I don't have a dog of my own: I have two Maine Coon cats who are quite dog-like and take up most of my time!
