ADOPTED - LUCKY , 7 year old male Cattle Dog-x - Red Speckle
ADOPTED ...
LUCKY is a beautiful young man who was surrendered for no fault of his own. So he is now looking for a Furever Home, preferably without very young children.
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION SINCE 24/05/2022.
Weight: 38 kg
His former guardians say about Lucky:
'He has a really good temperament and he loves being around us - even if it's not next to us. He's content coming inside and sitting on his bed in the living room and being with the family. Of course he would prefer to be sitting on your lap but is too big.
He's a kind dog - he is fine with vets, people he knows and sometimes strangers (outside of the yard) - but will bark at you if you come to the house and he doesn't know you.
He is fine with people in the yard if we are present ... untested how he would react if we weren't there and someone came in the yard.
He's super playful, but doesn't know when to stop sometimes and other animals (dogs and cats) don't like it. He may have been poorly socialised as a puppy.
He's pretty well behaved overall, but he is very active and would prefer a walk every day, but he is also ok with a walk every few days - but any longer and he can get a bit pent up and is prone to digging.
He loves walking / running but he is easily distracted (by most things) and pulls a lot. He's used to a fast pace walk so if you slow down he will keep walking at a fast pace. He needs someone strong or an anti-pull harness/collar.
He's a smart boy and knows many tricks (sit, drop, stay, come, leave it, roll over, shake, etc) but often all his training goes out the window when he's distracted. He has poor recall but does come eventually - i.e. when we take him for a walk on the beach he will come back, but gets highly distracted. He would be best left on the lead in open spaces until a new owner was confident of their training.
He's super goofy, and not particularly good at frisbee or fetch, but he's willing to learn and it's funny watching him play fetch. He can be a bit possessive of toys (which we have been slowly training out of him).
He's good with food and will sit on his bed and leave his food until prompted. He is fine with other people touching and being around his food while eating.
Most of the time he doesn't know he's a big dog and carries on like he's light as a feather - he's run into us a few times or whips us with his waggy tail. He doesn't jump normally, but can when he's VERY excited.'
