If you are interested in a high energy, food and play motivated, loving, smart, goofy pup, look no further than Lucy! This 6 month old mini Aussie (best guess) is a delight and will bring joy and laughter into your home. She is currently being fostered on a sheep farm and enjoys watching, and sometimes trying to herd, the sheep.
Lucy loves to play with her people and her favorite resident dog, 10 year old Dan. She will need lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation, several times a day. She and Dan run zoomies in the backyard and never seem to get enough. She is great on a leash, so walks will be fun. Lucy really enjoys her toys, whether her people are playing fetch or tug, or she is simply playing with them on her own. She is great about focusing on toys and is not destructive. Lucy likes puzzle toys, although is able to solve them quickly. The most recent toy, a two-tier puzzle, said it would take the dog several tries to master it and to start with just one tier. Lucy had both tiers solved in under a minute. No challenge at all.
This pup also loves to jump! Over logs, furniture, other dogs, she will fly over anything. With her intelligence and athleticism, she would make a super agility or fly ball dog. Lucy also has a nice off switch, being able to hang out quietly with a toy or cuddle up for a nap. She sleeps through the night with no disruptions.
Lucy loves adventures and people. She has made friends with people at the local feed store and farm store, prancing in like she owns the world. Visitors to the farm are greeted with much enthusiasm. Lucy rides nicely in the truck, so road trips are a definite possibility for this little one.
She is kennel trained, but it is not her favorite pastime. Lucy would really like her own pack of older, considerate kids, eight and up, and a companion dog. Because of her natural herding instinct, she may try to herd and nip at very small children. She is housebroken, and a quick learner. Lucy has fairly good recall, although may need coaxing to come inside if she feels she still has go power. Lucy has not been cat tested, but given the way she accepts correction from the other dogs, she will probably be polite to a cat who gives her a good swat on the nose.
Lucy’s words: joy, happiness, intelligent, energetic, sweet, cuddly, silly, goofy, obedient, funny, PERFECT!
Lucy is being fostered in the Kansas City area.
