About Dusty
Meet Dusty: The Sweetest Pup You’ll Ever Meet!
🐾 Breed: Woolfhound x Border Collie
🐾 Age: 10 weeks
🐾 Gender: Male
Dusty is a charming 10-week-old puppy with a heart full of love and a temperament that is truly one of a kind. With his mix of Woolfhound and Border Collie, Dusty has the perfect balance of intelligence, gentleness, and curiosity. He’s the ideal companion for a family looking for a loyal, easygoing pup who loves to be by their side.
Personality
What makes Dusty so special is his incredibly sweet, calm, and collected nature. While many puppies are bursting with energy and mischief, Dusty is more of a “take it easy” kind of guy. He’s content to hang out, observe his surroundings, and quietly enjoy the company of his family. Whether he’s lounging at your feet or resting his head in your lap, Dusty is happiest when he’s near the people he loves.
Despite his calm demeanor, Dusty is still a typical puppy who enjoys playing and exploring. He’s friendly, affectionate, and social, and he’ll happily engage with anyone who’s ready for a cuddle or a game of fetch.
Social & Friendly
Dusty is wonderful with small children and is well-socialized with other dogs, making him an excellent choice for a family with young kids or another pet. He enjoys meeting new people and other animals, always with a gentle and friendly approach. His calm nature makes him a great companion for a household that values both energy and relaxation in equal measure.
What Dusty Needs
Dusty, like all puppies, will benefit from plenty of attention, exercise, and training. While he may have a calm temperament, he’s still a growing puppy who needs physical and mental stimulation to develop into a well-behaved adult dog. Regular playtime, walks, and training sessions will help Dusty continue to thrive. He’ll enjoy both structured activities like learning new commands and more laid-back fun like snuggling or hanging out in the backyard.
What Makes Dusty Special:
Sweet and Gentle: Dusty’s calm and collected personality sets him apart from many puppies. He’s gentle and affectionate, and he’ll bond quickly with his family.
Great with Kids and Other Dogs: Dusty is naturally friendly, making him an ideal choice for families with small children or other pets.
A True Companion: Dusty’s favorite place is by your side, and he’ll happily follow you around wherever you go. He’s a devoted pup who loves attention and companionship.
Dusty’s Ideal Home:
Dusty would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of love, attention, and gentle guidance. He would do well with a family who is committed to providing him with regular exercise and training. While Dusty has a calm disposition, he still enjoys being active and will appreciate daily walks and playtime. Above all, Dusty is looking for a family who will make him a part of their lives and love him unconditionally.
If you’re looking for a sweet, well-mannered pup to join your family, Dusty could be the perfect match. He’s ready to settle into a loving home and share his big heart with you. Could that be your family? 🐶💙
