Nestlé ~ bc X koolie X cattle (On Trial 11/3/16)

Hi, I'm named Nestlé, like the chocolate because I'm so sweet! I'm an 8 month old, border collie X koolie X stumpy tailed cattle dog girl who loves cuddles, toys and food! Are you looking for a dog who always comes when called and is always ready for play and cuddles? Do you feel there is a hole in your life without a sweet little dog licking and cuddling you? Then I'm your gal because I love to lick and cuddle at EVERY opportunity. I only weigh 12kgs so I can fit on your lap and I'd be happy to oblige if you really wanted me to.

I also love chewing my toys and love you to throw them, as often as possible. I'm very smart and have already learned how to sit, wait, shake paws and drop! I have even learned that it's better to go to the toilet outside. I love my foster kids and have been learning not to jump, but no one had to tell me the 5 year old is too small to jump on - I just knew I could hurt her if I did, so I sit and wait for her sweet pats because kids give the best pats!

I’d be happy to be an only dog so long as I have active parents who won't leave me alone for long periods of time. I don't mind spending the day outside (so long as I have shelter and toys) but I would like to spend some time inside each day enjoying the company of my family. At the moment, I spend most of my time outside and in a Queensland room and sleep on a lounge out there. I may need you to take a little time showing me how you want me to behave inside at your house.

I need some time to get to know other dog brothers or sisters, but I get better every day and I can now play tug with my foster Mum’s dog. I spent some time in the pound so I can be a bit defensive at first, but I am learning that play with other dogs can be fun. I have no idea what I will do when I meet a cat, but I’m willing to try it out, because I'm still young you know!

I don't bark unless I get really scared, otherwise I am quiet! My foster Mum has been wondering if I was mute, because I rarely bark and only make noise when I am chasing my toys. Storms and fireworks don't bother me because I have good shelter.

I'll need good fencing, because when I visited the vet for a checkup, I could jump from a standstill right up onto his table! He was pretty impressed and said no other dog had ever done that before! I'm pretty special, right?

I need to go for daily walks, no big runs yet (I'm still a baby you know) and with training I am learning to be well behaved and not pull on the lead. It's a big world out there, I can't wait to see it all!
