CHAMP
Champ is a very handsome, active and friendly lad. By all indications, Champ looks to be an Australian Shepherd or Aussie cross. He is 2 - 3 years old and currently about 45 pounds. Overall, he is well behaved, nicely socialized, engaging, entertaining and smart.
Here are some things you will like about Champ. He is ALL about being with his humans - he is a glutton for attention. He also enjoys the company of other canines. He is very comfortable both indoors and outdoors. He loves toys and will often self-entertain when indoors. He is very food motivated, has good eye contact, is smart and eager to learn - he is quickly mastering basic commands, waiting for his food and at doorways, and sitting when cars pass by on walks. He loves butt rubs, sitting on the coach, playing fetch and Frisbee and long walks. He has learned to engage an off button when indoors. He rides nicely in a car, enjoys golf cart rides, and thrives on routine, moderate exercise and close human companionship.
Here are some of the things you need to understand about Champ. He is an active boy who will do best if given regular doses of exercise such as fetching. He is very excitable around new people and can be jumpy; but, with good treats and praise, he has made great progress on learning to keep his "feet on the floor". He is also very excitable when meeting new dogs. He needs managed leash introductions of 10-15 minutes to bring him down to an appropriate level of interaction and play mode. His excitement level bubbles over with cats so a no-cat cat home is a must. He does not like the use of physical reprimands. So, parents with clam leadership skills, patience to build trust and who use positive reinforcement training only are a must.
Here are some other things we will be looking for in Champ's new home. No cats. Fun and active people who enjoy high doses of doggie companionship! A large, fenced yard for active play. Someone with the time and desire to continue his basic training and meet his needs for moderate exercise.
