Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Border Collie. {s1550code1114/} {s1550code1111/} {s1550code1113/} Roo is a classic border collie–Aussie mix.. He’s a wonderful, well‑trained boy with a big heart.Roo would truly thrive in a home with more space or a yard to run in. He loves chasing balls, swimming, playing with toys, and snuggling. He once tried herding sheep but quickly decided that eating sheep poop was far more exciting! He turns six on September 11th. Roo is an all‑around great dog who wants an active home where he can run, play, and be loved. Roo has lived comfortably in a multi‑dog household and gets along very well with other dogs. He’s lived with a cat too, though he still feels tempted to chase it. He’s also a great running partner and is trained to run two miles. If you can offer Roo a forever home filled with love, activity, and attention, he’ll give you endless loyalty and companionship in return.

Overview:
The Australian Shepherd, despite its name, actually originated in the western United States during the 19th century, bred primarily for herding livestock on ranches. These striking dogs are medium-sized with a sturdy build, often sporting captivating merle coats (blue or red) and piercing blue, amber, or marbled eyes, sometimes with two different colors (heterochromia). Known for their exceptional intelligence and high energy, Aussies possess a strong work drive and thrive on having a "job" to do, whether it's agility, obedience, or extensive exercise. Their temperament is generally loyal, affectionate, and good-natured with their families, though they can be reserved with strangers. Due to their high exercise requirements and need for mental stimulation, they are best suited for active families or individuals with ample outdoor space and a commitment to training; apartment living is generally not ideal. Potential owners should also be aware of common health concerns like hip and elbow dysplasia and certain eye conditions, including Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA).
