Gizmo is a 6 1/2 month old black tri Australian Shepherd female puppy. She is a true Aussie puppy, she has a carefree puppy personality with a short puppy attention span and loves to play, play, play. This girl likes people and other dogs. Gizmo knows basic commands like sit, wait and down.
Gizmo is a typical velcro Aussie and loves to be with people as long as they play, play, play because she is a very busy girl. She is a rough and tumble tomboy who loves to chase and wrestle with her foster canine siblings and is very vocal in her play. This pup plays fetch and tug. Gizmo loves to play with squeaky toys. She loves to chew antlers, Kong's and bully sticks. This smart darling likes to take all the toys out of the toy box and lay them out on the floor so she can choose just the right toy. Gizmo also is infatuated with with family cat. This girl doesn't try to hurt him but she has an extremely high prey drive and will chase anything that moves.
This gal is crate trained. Because she is a puppy, she should be crated whenever she is not being supervised until she matures. Like most young Aussies, Gizmo would do best in an a home with another dog for guidance but it is not a requirement. Gizmo is such an active, busy girl that she will not do well in home with small children. Gizmo is a sweet girl who needs to be kept mentally and physically engaged. This doll needs a very active home with plenty of structured exercise. A simple walk is not going to be enough exercise for her. Like any puppy, letting her out in a backyard without any supervision will result in digging holes and chewing on anything she can get into her mouth.
She is learning basic house and leash manners. At this time, Gizmo is not completely housebroken. She doesn't quite have it all figured out yet so you need to be very aware of her subtle hints. Gizmo is still young and can't always hold her bladder for long periods of time. Like a young child, she forgets to tell you she needs to go out when she is busy playing sometimes. When she matures a bit, this will not be a problem.
Gizmo is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed. She is being fostered in Northern IL. If you would to add this adorable puppy to your family, please fill out an
