Butch Otter is a male puppy born August 3, 2024. Wisdom Panel DNA showed 77% Australian Cattle
Dog, single-digit% Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd,
trace% Collie. At the time of the photos, early November, 2024, Butch weighed 19 pounds.
Good-natured Butch looked very much like a little otter in his first weeks; hence the nickname
honoring Idaho’s long-time governor. Affable and entertaining, Butch doesn’t try to be a bigshot; he
just enjoys being part of a pack and having fun. His caretaker says he’s adventurous, like a little land
rover. He is what dog behaviorists call a “blank slate” – very much a desired trait. Butch will fit in
anywhere, whether joining a family with dogs, or having a constant companion who will nurture him
and bring out greatness that may well be waiting in his smart mind and winsome personality.
Butch’s adoption fee is $300 and an additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of neuter,
which is a requirement when he is between the ages of 6 and 12 months.
