About Digger
G'day! I’m Digger. I'm a 2-year-old true-blue cattle dog. 🤠
I'm searching for a cattle dog experienced home that understands my breed and it's quirks. If you know cattle dogs, you'll know we're "smart, hardy, independent, stubborn, tenacious, energetic and (unlike me) untiring." Like all true cattle dogs, I thrive with clear boundaries and consistent leadership from my human boss.
I'm looking for a home on acres/farm, preferably with other dogs for company. I'm not the kinda guy that wants to leave the property. I'm best if I can just stay on my own turf and keep and eye on things. I'm an independent guy. I enjoy being part of my humans everyday lives and hanging out with them. My job in care is to supervise the humans when they relax with a beer after a hard day on the farm. Someone's gotta don't they?
I'm around livestock and free-range chickens, but always under supervision and I've shown no interest in chasing them. I'm untested with cats.
I'm currently in care with other dogs of various ages and enjoy a short play with them. I'd go for longer, but I quickly run out of puff as I've been a bit too good on the tooth in the past. Don't blame me; it's the humans! They couldn't resist my cattle dog smile. Here in foster care though, they are a bit tougher. Less food and more exercise. Can't say I'm thrilled about that!
I enjoy chasing the ball, but can't always be bothered bringing it back. Depends on my mood and energy at the time really.
I'm house trained & sleep quietly in my crate at night. At my current foster home, I sleep in the shed on a trampoline bed and am perfectly happy with that arrangement too. As long as we can hang out in the morning, I'll be happy. I don't bark unless I need to alert you to something.
I need a home committed to my ongoing training and socialisation. A home where I can be someone's best mate and have a few doggo buddies to hang out with while you go about your business.
If you think I may be the perfect bloke for you, send in your application form today!
Cheers mate,
Digger 🐾
