Background: Whiskey lost her first home when there were big life changes within the family. And moved into a house where the current dogs were a bit too chaotic for her.

Current Description: Whiskey needs a job and would like to apply to be someone's right hand woman on the farm and in life. Like any good Cattle dog she has a work ethic that needs to be fulfilled. If you have any openings on your hobby farm she has been said to have a good natural instinct for herding the cows at her last home (she has not yet seen sheep).

Ideal Home: She would love an active home with daily activities for her to do. And she would prefer to be the only dog. Any other dogs in the home would be decided on a case by case basis. She may do okay with a male dog but no female or small breed dogs.
Her current foster home has her in a group of stable neutral dogs and she does okay. But long term she would like to be an only dog or with one other dog she seems worthy.
