Margo

It amazes me that Margo has been so overlooked! She is so unique! This little lady may be one, but she is so chill and eager to please. I had a trainer come and she was so surprised Margo wasn't already adopted. She said she was well mannered and obeyed well. She brought her dog to meet Margo, and was impressed that Margo stayed and sat when told. The trainer also thinks she has Australian Kelpie in her - narrow/slender face and nose. This girl is so lovable! The 5 year old neighbor boy has his sister text if I can bring her out to hug him. Margo is loving, smart and beautiful. She will make a wonderful active companion, hiking and running partner. Her energy level is fairly chill for an ACD and she has an "off-switch" and likes to snuggle. She crates well and is house trained. She is a great walking dog and is learning to look back at me when I say "eyes" so she connects while walking. She does have the heeler trait of jumping up at you if you don't set boundaries, but she is more gentle with the jump. She is becoming better as we continue training. She has learned to walk by rabbits and ducks without even the slightest pull on her leash. Initially Margo exhibited resource guarding of new toys with her live in dog brother, Rocky, After a week or so, she learned to play with Rocky and they now share toys without issue. Margo has never shown food agression. I can freely pull her food bowl or add to it while she is eating, and she simply waits. She loves small ice cubes and comes running when she hears the ice maker. Margo would do best with someone who is experienced with herders. A fenced yard preferably. She is currently fostered in the Naples area. ****Foster is willing to transport Margo for meet and greets and adoption (within reason)
