Jack ~ Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog (on trial 3/1/18)

Hi, my name is Jack and I am a 12 month old stumpy-tail Cattle Dog boy. I am very friendly, energetic and inquisitive. I love to socialise!

I love having a big back yard with lots of toys to play with. I love spending time with people – playing tug-o-war and fetching a few balls.

I am very proud of my obedience skills so far. Since I have been in foster care for just two weeks, I have learnt sit, down, sit for my dinner and go dead to roll over for a tummy rub. I am doing really well with my lead training and sitting when we stop out on a walk. I’m ready to learn more.

I’m an outside dog at my foster home. It’s a treat when I come inside for a couple of hours at night when I can just sit or lie and be part of the family. I sleep in my kennel at night without any disturbance. If I came to live at your place you could have me inside as much as you like!

I’ll bark if there’s something new happening – someone at the door or if I see a big green frog in the middle of the night – but I know when to stop and I’m definitely not a nuisance barker.

I love people – I’m not really a jumper, but I can stand up on people - my foster parents are working on that. I love to chew – all sorts of toys. I do like to do a bit of gardening too.

I need a family who has the time to exercise me regularly, and preferably with a bit of space so I can run around and entertain myself. My current foster home has some chooks and a cat. I bark at the chooks because I like to watch them jump. I’m not allowed too close to them. I wag my tail like crazy when I see the cat – I’d love him to be my friend but he’s just not interested.

I don’t live with dogs so my people can’t say too much about that, but when I went to the pet shop the other day, I was so excited to see all the other dogs and my tiny tail was wagging as fast as it could. If you already have a dog or two, I’d need to meet them first.

I have a lot of love to give, and need the perfect family to share my love with. I am a real smoocher and just love a good belly rub and I can't wait to find my forever home!
