Rocco Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Niagara Falls, ON

Rocco, sounds like a tough guy, right? Yup, that's what dad hoped for, a son who'd follow in his footsteps..."Son,", he'd growl,"you're afraid of your own shadow! Be a man! Show 'em who's boss!" But nothing he said helped....Truth is I used to be a scaredy cat, or a scaredy dog! But wow! you should see me now! I've found my tail is for wagging, and I prance about like any excited puppy when I sniff something new. I've even learned about doggy treats. And speaking of treats, I'm excited to learn obedience! I confess that I'd love to learn how to walk by your side like I've seen those city dogs do.
I get along with all them other mutts as well as all you two legged guys. Just my natural easy-going nature I guess, but I love to hang around my people and am over the moon when they play with me.
