Meet Roo!
If you're looking for a dog that's as smart as she is spirited, this little cattle dog is ready to find her perfect match. She has all the traits that make heelers so incredible—loyal, eager to be involved in everything you do, and always ready for the next adventure. Roo is estimated to be 4 months old and weighs 19lbs as of July 10th.
Ideal Home
Roo needs an active home that understands the physical and mental exercise this breed requires. She is not a good fit for first-time dog owners and will not do well in an apartment. She would absolutely thrive in a home with another playful dog who can match her energy, as having a canine companion helps keep her engaged, gives her an outlet for play, and allows her to be the happy, confident dog she's meant to be. An experienced cattle dog owner is a must, and a fenced yard is required.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Roo is mostly house-trained and fully crate-trained. While she isn't a fan of going into her crate, she settles down quickly and does well once she's inside. She's also not destructive, especially when her mind and body are kept busy. Continued training and helping her reach her full potential are important.
