Tial Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Springfield, MO

Looking to jumpstart my career as a professional herder! My name is Tial and I am 6 week old adorable male Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler! Currently I am in the process of completing my degree in house breaking and crate training. As a smart guy, I should have it down in no time. I will be ready for adoption mid-April. Getting along with my furry colleagues is a breeze and I get along great with youngsters of all ages, although I might knock little ones down with my energetic personality. In order to make the best use of my skills, I will need a privacy fenced yard, no invisible fencing. My biggest challenge will be in finding the right fit for my instincts. With the renowned traits of my breed—loyalty, intelligence, boundless energy, and a touch of tenacity—I'm enthusiastic about putting my skills to work. Now, I'll admit, I've got some quirks, especially when it comes to behaviors like biting and heeling—it's just instinctual for me. But with the right guidance and understanding, I'm confident I can become the loyal companion you've been searching for. I'm quite the active little guy. I've got energy to spare and a zest for life that's hard to contain. Wherever I go, you can bet I'll be running at full speed—I've only got one gear, and that's fast! When I've run out of steam, I'm more than happy to kick back and relax. I thrive on stimulation and purpose, so I'll need a home that's ready to keep me mentally and physically engaged. Give me a job to do, and I'll tackle it with all the enthusiasm in the world.

**As a reminder, puppies will need lots of time and attention during the first year. Before adopting me, please make sure that you have enough time, energy and commitment to devote to my training. Puppies need a lot of care, so everyone in your household should be on board and ready to help out**
