Lily is an 18-month-old Collie / Australian Cattle Dog mix who weighs 41 lbs and has velvety-soft short fur and the sweetest eyes. She loves learning with her person and would prefer a home without cats and small animals. Lily would like to be the only pet in the home, or have a dog friend who is bigger than her and doesn’t mind some rough-and-tumble play. She likes to rule the roost but will accept redirection from dogs who are larger than her. Lily loves to sit in your lap and just wants to be close to you. Since she is 50% Cattle Dog, she is very intelligent but also cautious of new situations, choosing to observe and settle in with her person rather than burst into the room with gusto. She has started Scent Work training and is enrolled with AKC Canine Partners, meaning she can compete in a variety of AKC events. Lily is so smart, she knows how to open some gates and wire crates to let her friends out to play or get food. A simple clip can prevent this. She is crate trained, but sleeps in a doggie-safe room at night and while unsupervised. Lily walks well on a leash and sticks close to her person. She prefers treats over toys and is very food motivated. Her current family will help make the transition successful and give you tips on keeping Lily’s mind sharp and engaged.
