Ideal Home
Skeeter would do best in an active home where they can give her opportunities to be mentally and physically engaged. Whether it's walks, adventures, training sessions, or simply being involved in your day-to-day activities, she wants to be right there with you. She is great with other dogs and also enjoys spending time with other dogs and can happily switch between playtime and relaxing. She would do best in a home without small children, and with someone experienced or familiar with herding breeds who can provide consistency and guidance.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Because of her herding instincts, Skeeter has a quirky but manageable habit: she can use her mouth to guide or redirect when she's trying to communicate. It's not aggressive, just her being a clever herding breed dog, but she will need a home committed to redirecting and continuing her training in this area. She thrives on structure, praise, and positive reinforcement, and loves having a job or purpose in her daily routine.
