About Louie
Hi, I'm Louie (little Louie they call me). I am an 8 week old Cattle Dog X. I absolutely love snuggles and naps on the lounge with my humans!
I would love a home where my humans can spend a lot of time with me. Little humans might be a bit overwhelming, especially if they haven't learned to play gently yet. I like other dogs, but not if they play rough, so a home with an adult dog who isn't too young and playful would be good, especially if its a female dog. My absolutely favourite thing to do is nap on the couch, so all applications need to include descriptions of couch...(only kidding, but I have taken a huge liking to my special couch bed, so my foster mum said I can probably take that with me).
I definitely need a home experienced with Cattle Dogs, and one that can patiently help me build confidence with new places and experiences...but I think a city will be a bit overwhelming for me, so a country home will be best. A suburban block will be ok, if it is on a very quiet street, but a lifestyle acreage would be ideal.
Mostly I love to be near my human family. I come when I am called, but I am honestly never far away. I love to nap, no-one has to make me calm down. I am not even much of a chewer (at least not yet). The last few nights there have been no accidents in the bathroom. I sleep in there with my sister, and only fuss for a couple of minutes when I am put to bed, then I sleep all night. It might take a bit of adjusting in my new house, but my love of sleep will win for sure. My family keeps taking me over to the big shed....but every chance I get, I go back inside the house, even if they are still over there. I am definitely part cattle dog, part couch. I am great in the car, it is another chance for a snooze.
My forever family needs to be able to help me get used to LOTS of different things, places, experiences. I have been on a little farm, horses and cows are ok, but seriously, those things are HUGE!!! Busy places are a bit overwhelming, but I could get used to them with some help. I need to go to puppy preschool (I have finally learned now to leave dogs alone when they growl), dog obedience or similar training, lots of socialisation, and I need to do that with Cattle Dog experienced humans. I definitely need a family that loves to have me inside with them, and is not gone for hours on end.
If this sounds like you (and your couch is amazing) please get in touch.
