Puppy Gracie (On Trial 25/10/13)

Gracie is a 16 week old blue Australian Cattle Dog puppy. Grace is ideal for a family with young children as she doesn't jump, run or knock them over. We have four children: 9, 7, 2x 4 year olds (one 4 year old is high dependency) and she is wonderful with them all.

Gracie very good with other dogs and with cats. We have a 2 year old Shar Pei and 2 cats and have not problems. Gracie will need to go to a home with another dog as she panics if she is left home alone without a person or another dog for company. She is timid when she first meets new people, but soon comes out of her shell when she knows it's safe.

Gracie does not run away, unless running with another dog. She comes straight back when called. She doesn't bark unless someone is close to the fence, and only if there are no people in the yard with her.

She is outdoors during the day and inside of a night. She loves to spend time with the family, especially our children. Gracie sleeps on a cushion, which will go with her when she gets adopted. She also has a favourite squeaky toy that she will take with her. She is housetrained. She will need to be allowed in the house in her new home.

Gracie's ideal home, would be with someone who can give her heaps of love and attention. She doesn't like to be left home alone so would need another dog in her new home for company.
