Mini Australian Shepherd

Lakewood WA

Description

17 month old blue Merle mini Australian shepherd She is AKC and ACA registered. She is microchipped. You will be able to transfer all of that into your name, I will give you her papers. She is not spayed. She is very sweet, affectionate, playful, silly, and smart. She LOVES to play fetch. She is crate trained for the most part; she has learned what it looks like for me to get ready to leave the house and will go in her crate and wait. She is about 98% potty trained. I keep a potty pad in the house just in case and every now and again she uses it. She is a good eater and is very good/treat motivated. I’ve started doing some training with her but it’s been really difficult because I also have a 10 year old dog who distracts the process. She is timid at first with people, but once she knows you’re her family, she will be obsessed with you and her love is incredible. She does NOT do well with little kids, they scare her. I’m sure this could be trained out of her with the right person but I don’t recommend putting her into a home with kids. I am rehoming her for the following reasons: I live in a condo and she will bark at the window at delivery drivers and people walking outside. She would be better in a house where people aren’t always walking around out front. Her barking has been really affecting my anxiety and it just isn’t a healthy fit for me. She needs someone who will exercise her more than I am capable of. She will be an amazing dog with a strong leader and training. I’ve just come to realize that it’s not me, and I want to give her a healthier home life. She will need her annual vaccines done, she was due in December.
