My name is Lady!

Lady is a 9 year old, red speckle ACD

She came from an abusive breeder situation around 5 years ago.  In that time she has become more social and comfortable with people, she prefers women but will get along fine with men (currently living with me, my husband and 15 year old son). 

She comes with everything- bed, bowls, toys, harness, leash, small bag of food.

Lady is shy around new people but once she warms up she is super friendly, affectionate and excited to play. She has way more energy than my 4 year old dog! She loves to ride in the car, go for walks and chase tennis balls. She gets along fine with other dogs unless there is a toy involved. She is not OK at the dog park. I think maybe with training this could be helped, but I don't have the ability to take that on right now. She also gets along with cats, probably even better than dogs as she mostly ignores them

 Before I took her, she had been suffering from hair loss and itchy skin, I switched her to my dog's food (Acana red meat) and her coat condition has improved greatly.

She is otherwise a very typical cattle dog, always ready to go, wants to be with her person, has 'the stare' and will jam herself into any comfortable bed. She loves to roll in dirt but is not big on being outdoors by herself. She is totally completely house trained. She does not get on the furniture. She occasionally barks, but only when my dog starts it. She is a very easy keeper and super sweet dog. She would love to have a large fenced space to really run after toys. She has excellent recall but needs a refresher on sit/stay/etc. Walks pretty nicely on leash, previously was able to walk off-leash but I haven't attempted it.
