Speck (fka Parker)

Got sheep? Love playing ball? This guy would love a home on a small farm or ranch, or with someone who will spend a lot of time getting him the exercise he craves. He's adjusted very well to being a house dog and loves all the creature comforts, but he is high energy and would love an outlet for his innate herding instincts. We tried him out with some sheep and he had a blast! He would probably work cows, too. What he wants most is a "go everywhere with you" home where he gets to ride along on all the adventures. He does great in a car and has impeccable recall. He is very attentive to humans and really aims to please. He's an absolutely gorgeous dog and an agile athlete who would excel at being an outdoor partner for trail running or long hikes, too. His quirks include chasing your feet and anxiety about being away from people. He is a sensitive guy who will really bond with his people and thrives on praise and positive reinforcement. He is currently trained to sleep in a dog bed on the floor and does not need to be crated overnight. He's used to horses and chickens but has not been exposed to cats and does have some small animal prey drive so would need a careful introduction. He's so ready to be your working partner and or adventure buddy!
