A little about them
Tipper is a devoted, intelligent 6-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd and Border Collie mix weighing about 40 pounds. She is affectionate with the people she trusts, eager to learn, athletic, and happiest with someone who enjoys building a strong relationship with their dog.
Tipper loves structure, consistency, training, fetch, everyday adventures, and relaxing beside her person. She could shine in rally, scent work, trick training, agility, or other dog sports.
Ideal Home
Tipper needs an experienced, confident handler who understands herding breeds, respects canine communication, reads body language, and gives her space when needed. She is not a fit for a first-time dog owner.
She has clear boundaries around personal space with unfamiliar people or unexpected movements and may give a quick warning nip if overwhelmed. A fenced yard for sniffing, exploring, and play would be welcome. She does well with other dogs when introductions are slow and thoughtful and may enjoy a respectful canine companion, though she is also happy receiving her person's attention.
Ongoing Health
Tipper is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for a second chance.
Training & Support
Tipper learns new commands quickly and thrives with structure and consistency. She walks nicely on leash but may pull when something exciting catches her attention. Continued confidence-building and respectful handling will help her thrive.
Application Details
- Applications start by contacting the provider through Wags.
- Tipper is looking for someone experienced with Aussies, Border Collies, or other herding breeds.
