About Bonnie
Bonnie by name, bonny by nature! A beautiful girl with a beautiful nature around people and always with a great big smile. Bonnie is approximately 18 months old. Predominantly, if not entirely, red cattle dog with the beautiful silver flecking through her coat that marks the breed. Bonnie was picked up as a stray, but her behaviour would suggest she spent a lot of time by herself in a concrete yard, so while she was well-fed and friendly with people Bonny was not socialised or trained in any way.
Despite this poor start, Bonnie is very intelligent and playful. Bonnie is now fully crate trained and can follow basic commands like 'sit' and 'wait'. She loves to cuddle with her people and enjoys a good game of fetch. Bonnie walks well on lead when there are no distractions, but she is still very reactive and needs patience and encouragement to continue improving. At 20kg, Bonny is boisterous at play and doesn't always know her own strength. Fortunately she isn't inclined to jump up on people and is very respectful to her people. Bonnie's reactiveness and social skills are improving and with attention and patience will continue to do so.
Bonny is still a big puppy and loves to play and chew everything. Bonny has a strong prey-drive and is unlikely to be suited around cats, but a doggy friend around her own size is practically a must unless her new family is able to be with her all the time. Currently Bonnie spends her days outside with her Kelpie foster-sister and comes inside at night for some cuddle time and dinner before going to sleep in her crate. Bonnie is now a thriving and confident dog and will return the love of her family tenfold.
