About Sam

Australian Shepherd
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Sam, the Australian Shepherd (although he has some border collie traits) Birth Date: 1/25/2017 Sam was purchased from The Rolling Hills Farm Aussies. He was primarily a crate-trained puppy until he was approximately 8 months old. He then joined his best friend, Lexie, and became an 'outside' puppy. Sam is now a year and 8 months old and full of energy. He is able to run with Lexie in our fenced back yard, but he truly needs a farm and lots of space to run in. Lexie has taught him to sound aggressive and protect his owners and back yard, but he is really a 'softie.' He has a very sweet personality and loves all kinds of attention. Bad habits include jumping and tormenting the little Shihtzu/Yorkie mix who also lives here. He tends to chase her and scare her, even biting her at times. I feel that's his way of playing or herding, but he can be rough with her. Sam loves to play ball and play with tug toys. He and Lexie are best friends, so he would be lost without having other dogs to play with. Lexie is 9 years old, but they still play together well. He has been around several other dogs and made attempts to play with them without incident. I need to find a wonderful new home for Sam because, I am downsizing and selling my home. He needs a loving family and a lot of room to run. He is really a great pet, and it is very difficult to be in this situation. I hope just the right person finds Sam. He is up to date on all vaccinations and had his annual checkup in May of this year. He was neutered in 2017. He has received all of his veterinary care from Concord Veterinary Hospital in Farragut.
