Talon ~ Cattle X Puppy ~ On Trial 7/6/15

Talon is a friendly 9 week old black cattle x puppy with a white blaze on his chest. We think Talon and his siblings may be crossed with border collie or even kelpie as some of his siblings are black and white, and a few have typical kelpie tan markings on their faces. Talon adores other dogs! He loves hanging out with his brother Ryder and his foster brothers and sisters playing chasings with them around the yard.

Talon is in foster care with his brother Ryder and 3 other puppies and he’s favourite time of the day is when he’s playing with them – he has a huge smile on his face. He’s also in foster care with a cat and 2 children. Talon is happy to have snuggles with his human foster sisters but is also content to just chill out at your feet and watch whatever you are doing. Talon is a very fast learner and has learnt to sit for his meals already. He loves peanut butter on breed, banana, cut up apple and chicken necks.

Talon would really love a furever home with a friendly playful dog as a playmate and a good role model. He’s only new to toilet training as he’s still just a baby, so his new family will need to continue to train him on where to go to the toilet.

Talon would best suit a furever home with another dog or someone who is home a lot. He needs to be allowed inside when his family is home and sleep inside. He is very social and too young to be left alone for long periods of time. If left alone he will display Houdini-like skills to find his humans so he will need secure fencing. He would love to go to puppy-training classes when he’s a little older as training and socialization will give him the best start in life. He will need plenty of affection, exercise, and training from his new family to help him grow and develop.

Talon’s sister Cala and brothers Cheddar, Merlot and Ryder are also available for adoption.
