About BLUEBELL

Adoption Fee: $300
Australian Cattle Dog
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

EXPERIENCED CATTLE DOG PERSON(s) / ADULT-ONLY HOME NEEDED Bluebell is an energetic, 11 month old, 'blue heeler' Australian cattle dog, approx. 25 lbs. She is a dream dog with her foster mom, isn't reactive to humans in public, BUT we have found that she has territorial reactivity or 'stranger danger' when introduced to new humans that specifically want to interact with her, which makes meet and greets with potential adopters challenging. This stranger danger behavior is very stereotypical to herding dogs that have not been properly socialized at an early age and, while Bluebell's reaction is more low to med on an intensity scale, she definitely needs a human that is used to being 'top cow' and can anticipate and strongly curb these reactions. Her foster mom, who is very experienced with scared growly heelers, wasn't even aware there was a problem as Bluebell responded so well to experienced handling and transitioned easily into her foster home with only an hour or so of leash work. As stated above, Bluebell is looking for a strong heeler experienced, adult-only house, with one person, or a couple if both are experienced heeler handlers, who will actively participate in Bluebell's training and socialization, have a fully fenced yard, already have an active lifestyle that regularly training and exercising a dog will fit right into. Bluebell would make a fantastic agility dog, it would be awesome if she had a person that was interested and capable of working with her on this. She is learning to hang out with other dogs and would benefit from another dog in the household, provided proper introductions are done and supervision while she is acclimating.
