Hi Abuela here! So nice to meet you! I'm LOVELY! Perfect size-31 lbs and a perfect golden age of 11-12! I'm spry-a little back end weakness but I LOVE walks and I keep a good pace! I am fostered with other dogs and we all get along beautifully! I love greenie pill pockets-they are DELICIOUS! I can't wait to meet you so if you want to spend my golden years with me please holler! xo *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet.
🧠 Temperament
Whip-smart, intense and endlessly driven. Australian Cattle Dogs bond hard to one person and need work; without it they herd whatever is available, including people and bikes.
🎾 Exercise
I'm spry-a little back end weakness but I LOVE walks and I keep a good pace!. Very high — 90+ minutes plus daily training or a dog sport.
✂️ Grooming
Short weather-resistant double coat, easy but sheds seasonally.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
One of the toughest apartment breeds. Only realistic if you are genuinely active and ready to train daily.
