Suzy Q - Female Border CollieCattle Dog Mix

Suzy Q is looking for a home that can give her the love patience attention and exercise she needs. I know this first statement makes her sound like a pretty needy pet but believe me she s a total sweetheart She just had a rough start in her original home. You see her first mom also had a few Boston Terriers. Well Suzy s instincts told her that they were tiny cows and she kept trying to round them up and would sometimes nip at their heels and shoulders to move them along. As you can imagine that did not go over well with either the Bostons or her owner. So Suzy Q is now with our foster mom learning how to be a house dog. She gets along well with most dogs but supervision is needed. She will sometimes try to gently herd the other dogs along. Suzy would probably be most content as the only dog or in a family that is experienced with herding breeds. She does thoroughly enjoy the company of her humans and loves to play with her tennis ball She s getting better at riding in the car the first few times she was a little anxious but she is calming right down and learning to enjoy the ride. She is friendly with strangers but doesn t go out of her way to greet them. She does like to be petted and responds well to praise we think she would learn new tricks quickly and would probably love to go on long daily walks or runs with her new humans. She walks well on a leash sits on command comes when called takes treats very gently and is house and crate trained. We think that Suzy is a Border Collie Red Heeler mix and is approximately 8 months old. She currently weighs around 40 pounds and at her age we believe that she will not get any bigger. She has soft silky fur fabulous ears and a beautiful smile Suzy has been spayed is up to date on vaccinations (Dhpplv Rabies and Bordatella) is Heartworm negative and takes a monthly Heartworm and flea tick preventative.
