My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This handsome, sweet boy is a 18 month old Boxer, Staffie and Blue Heeler mix. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Cosmo loves to play tug and chase sticks. He will sometimes bring them back, but would much rather you chase him! He also loves to play with other dogs, and would love to spend his life running around a fenced back yard (or farm?) with a doggie friend. He likes walks, and walks very well on leash in a heel position. But he is leash reactive and has a hard time controlling himself when he sees other dogs. This loyal boy loves his people but can be wary around strangers, so a person who can be a firm, consistent leader will help him feel more confident and secure. Little kids make him nervous, and his Blue Heeler instincts are strong so he likes to herd them. Because of this, Cosmo would do best in a home with older children/teens.

Cosmo is house and crate trained. He knows sit, stay, down, stand, paw, heel, and has pretty good recall.
