Meet Ranger, the Aussie Boss! This handsome boy is a purebred Australian Shepherd with a heart full of spirit and a mind ready for a job. Ranger is looking for an experienced partner who understands the drive and nuance of herding breeds. He has a very high movement drive and would absolutely thrive with a working job to do. He loves being outside and engaging his brilliant mind. If you're looking for a dog to train in agility, herding, or high-level obedience, Ranger is your man! When it's time to relax, he loves to settle in for some coveted belly rubs. Ranger is house-trained and crate-trained. His favorite things are balls and toys, and he has great motivation for play. Ranger can be whiny to let you know his feelings, a classic Aussie trait! Life with Ranger is never boring! He's a clever fellow who has figured out how to open a handle door, so locks may be needed! When he's ready for a meal, he'll give you a polite reminder by going to his bowls. He hasn't met children in his home environment yet, but he is fascinated by them and loves to watch kids play from a distance.
Ideal Home
Ranger is a strong leader who requires a confident, clear-headed handler. He is leash reactive and will need consistent, positive training to manage this. However, when introduced correctly, he can play well with other dogs. Ranger absolutely needs an owner with Australian Shepherd or Heeler experience. Someone who understands herding dog drive, boundaries, and energy needs is essential for his success and happiness.
Ongoing Health
Ranger's adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue's care. Age and breed are our best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are.
Training & Support
Ranger is house-trained and crate-trained. He can be whiny to let you know his feelings, a classic Aussie trait! He is leash reactive and will need consistent, positive training to manage this.
