About Onyx
Meet Onyx
Onyx is a brave little warrior with a heart of gold who will grow to be a protector and bring such happiness and laughter to his lucky family.
He is about 3mths old and is a cattle x Border Collie.
He is learning to be a confident and playful dog with help from his 2 big resident dog friends.
He is interested in cats and learning a sniff and ear lick is quite enough.
He reacts to 'No' really well and stops in his tracks if he thinks a quick follow of the cat up the stairs might be a fun thing to do.
Onyxs' favourite things to do are:
Sit and nap in the 'cat bed dog toy box'
Play with his dog friends (chasey, bitey face, tug a war and toy sharing)
Cuddles and licks and nibbles and tummy rubs on the couch (he helps himself to your lap with a bit of help getting those back legs up still)
Seeking out his toys and carrying them from one area to another for a sit and chew
Sniffing out lizards and chewing on sticks.
Wrestling the broom – or “helping with the sweeping.
He loves his food and takes treats gently.
He is learning some beautiful manners knows sit and is learning to 'sit and wait' for his food.
He is also learning to sit back and wait with the other dogs while the cats are only a few steps away eating their breakfast in the morning.
A smart and curious puppy who is not scared of anything - he has the waggiest little stumpy tail
Toilet training is a work in progress – he will take himself outside when the door is open during the day, and he is using the blue and white puppy pads if he gets caught short in the house.
Onyx sleeps in a cosy crate in the same room as his 2 resident dog friends and is great in it for 6 to 6.5hrs so far with no accidents.
He will need to be taken straight outside for 'go toilet' in the morning though.
He has had his first 2 puppy vaccinations, and his flea/tick/worm is all up to date.
Onyx is waiting to meet you with his gorgeous brown and blue eyes and waggy stumpy tail at Arana Hills
His adoption fee of $650 includes desexing at our partner vet when he is about 6 months old.
