Are you right for Aussie?Aussie is a handsome, almost 3 year old Australian Cattle/Sheep dog looking for an active new home to call his own! Aussie is instantly friendly with everyone he meets and wants to be your friend, he is looking for a home that can give him more than he has previously been able to get such as adventures, hikes, training, even agility or a nice hobby would suit him perfectly! Outside of his adventures, he doesn't want for much else, just someone to be his best friend and chill out with at home when they relax after some fun! Aussie can walk past dogs out and about with no problems but can be hit and miss with which dogs he wants to be friends with, smaller, gentle females are generally his friends, and he can even enjoy a good play with them! But for his new home, he would like to be the only dog there please and any children to be roughly 10+ as he can get excitable and jump, but has previously been around children with no issues so this could be case by case and with sensible youngsters.
