Description:
Polly is a beautiful Cattle Dog who was rescued from hoarding/neglect situation along with 22 other dogs. This beautiful cattle dog is amazingly sweet and is so gentle! I think she would love to have a warm comfortable home were she can thrive and allow her personality to unfold!
A working, herding breed, the Australian Cattle Dog is not suited to life alone in the backyard. One of the most intelligent breeds, it can become easily bored, leading to serious behavior problems. These dogs need to be part of the action! They are loyal, protective and alert. An excellent guard dog. Brave and trustworthy. Very good in the obedience ring and in herding and agility. Can be obedience trained to a very high level. Firm training from the start and a lot of daily leadership, along with daily mental and physical exercise will produce a fine and happy pet. It is absolutely loyal and obedient to its master, but it is something of a one-person dog. They are sometimes suspicious of people and dogs they don't know. It can be very dog aggressive, for its dominance level is high. Teach your Australian Cattle Dog that you are alpha and you will not tolerate him fighting with other dogs. Best with children in the family it has known since puppyhood. Some tend to nip at people's heels in an attempt to herd them. If you are buying a pet, avoid strictly working lines, as these dogs may be too active and intense for home life. Australian Cattle Dogs are very easy to train. Puppies are born white (inherited from the early Dalmatian crosses), but the adult color can be seen in the paw pads. Problems can and WILL arise with meek owners, and or owners who do not provide the proper amount and type of exercise. This breed does best with a job to do. If you do not have time to extensively work with and exercise your dog, or do not fully understand canine instincts and their need to have leadership, this is not the breed for you.

- Leash Manners - Walks well on leash and enjoys riding in a car.
- Crate/House Training - Fully house trained and crate trained.
- Socialization – Very friendly and affectionate with people. Very puppyish and enjoys playing with people but sometimes gets excited and uses teeth lightly. Enjoys being around other dogs and puppy wrestling.
- Energy Level and Exercise – She has a moderate energy level – seems content to be with someone and loves chasing a dog in the yard. Always ready to go when she sees the leash.
- Daily Structure and Schedule – She plays in the yard for about 15 minutes and then has 1 cup of food. She limps at times on her back right paw so we only walk a couple of blocks and then she plays in the yard and enjoys lying in the sandbox with the other dogs. She likes toys and so far has not been destructive – just enjoys carrying them or chasing them. She has another cup of food around 6 PM and then plays in the yard. She sleeps well thru the night and enjoys napping.
- Confidence Level – Very confident, sweet dog. She expects to be treated well by people and dogs and shows no fear of either. Even though she’s limping some, she lets me touch her paw to clean and examine it.
- Obedience Training – She knows “sit” and we’re working on “wait” at the door. She makes great eye contact and seems to want to please, so she will be easy to train.
- Behaviors – She eats in the same room with other dogs and is not food aggressive. She is respectful to large dogs and enjoys being around them. She puppy wrestles with a dog a little larger, one her size and one a little smaller.
- Personality Quirks – She is adorable and playful. She was a little rough with her teeth when playing with a smaller dog but when the dog yelped, she backed off. Still haven’t heard her bark. She makes soft growly noises when playing at times.
- Ideal Home - Ideally she would love a home with a fenced yard for her to play in and an active couple or family to take her for walks. She would enjoy being out of the crate as much as possible and would enjoy being with another dog or an owner who has time to train and play with her. She would probably do best with children over 6 since she is mouthy at times when playing.
