Tia Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Australian Kelpie Mix Hedgesville, WV

Tia is a super sweet 2 yr old, 50 lb, spayed female cattle dog mix. Her father was pure cattle dog and mother was Doberman, German Shepherd and Lab. She was the last pup from an "oops litter" who I took from a coworker. She is very friendly and playful. Active but not hyper. She would make an excellent sport dog. She is learning to fetch, loves to play with a frisbee (still learning how to catch it) very handler oriented and smart! She has a great nose and would excel at tracking, barn hunt, or nose work. She also has a high prey drive and would enjoy fast cat and/or lure coursing. Her previous owner said she liked to swim and with her toy drive she would also be a good candidate for dock diving. She was not socialized much as a pup so learned how to meet and interact with other dogs once I got her. She is playful and would probably be too playful for a small or older dog. She does well with dog savvy cats (would probably chase those that run.) She will actually play with one of mine and is very gentle/respectful! She also walks well on a leash and is clean in a kennel.

Tia does not have to be a sport dog but needs more than just a "pet" home. She would not be happy staying in the house or fenced in backyard all day. She needs daily exercise and would make a great companion for an avid runner, hiker, or biker and someone that likes to teach their dog tricks, etc. She is very smart and needs both physical and mental stimulation.

Completion of basic obedience class will be required within 60 days of adoption.
