BOWSER - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Location: NC Are you ready to rock ‘n’ roll? Meet Bowser who is ready to join! He's located in the Raleigh NC area and interested adopters must be willing to drive to him, when needed for Meet & Greets. Bowser is a neutered 2 year-old Australian cattle dog and he is very fitting to his Breed characteristics. After spending his early life in a single backyard, he's now experiencing the world one sniff, hike, and frisbee toss at a time. He has a very appealing athletic lean body figure and he would be well matched with an active family. Water? Count him in! Want to play ball or frisbee? He's game! Here are some great things about him! - Good in a home with 7 dog savvy cats, IF he chased, he recalls off when told. - People friendly in a familiar environment - LOVES WATER. - Walks great on a leash - Kennel trained - Not super barky - Handler focused, responds well - Survived fireworks in the neighboring field to the house, with no super anxious freak out - He is very, very food motivated - He is toy driven (Balls and Frisbees) Heres some unique things about him! * He’s got some real monkey energy—a bit jumpy and mouthy when he gets excited during play! * Still learning about the big wide world, he may bark at strangers or new situations, but it’s just his way of saying, “Hey, what’s that?” With more exposure, his confidence is growing every day. * Mild resource guarding around high-value treats, so awareness and boundaries will go a long way. * He can be dog selective - This is still something we are testing out currently in foster care but so far he does really well with my 9y/o male, but not my 3y/o male. My 3y/o is still intact, technically, so this could very well be the issue. Bowser’s Ideal Home: No young kiddos—children 10+ only, please! Preferably an only dog, or a home open to slow intros with a chill female or neutered male. Dog-savvy humans who are committed to continued training and socialization People who love the outdoors—he thrives with activity and would love to join you on trails, adventures, and training games. He could very likely be a candidate for some sports if you're a newbie. He is great with frisbee, he has one heckin' of a nose (barnhunt/NASDA anyone??) and he just might even be a dock diver one day! He is handler focused. Bowser is incredibly handler-focused, and he’s already showing how eager he is to learn, grow, and bond. If you're looking for a loyal, sporty, slightly silly sidekick who’s just waiting for his chance to shine, Bowser may be your perfect match. If Bowser’s cute mug has caught your heart and you're ready for a rewarding journey with this diamond in the rough—reach out today. He can’t wait to meet you! Contact waterdingoes25gmail.
