About Onyx

Adoption Fee: $100
Border Collie / Australian Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Onyx is a wonderful dog, almost 2 and a half, with plenty to offer. He is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm, and everything veterinary related. He is great with my kids, but not with kids outside our family. When kids start to play or run and the energy level goes up, he reverts to his herding instincts and wants to control the situation, i.e. nipping and matching the energy level. He's never bit, but is definitely capable of doing so. I've had him in the yard with kids in muzzle, and he was fine. He's great with other dogs and has been going to a doggie day care, plays just as well with a Chihuahua as he does a Mastiff. He is very attentive, and if you want a companion dog to throw the ball with, walk all day, or just snuggle up to, he's your man. Be ready for a dog that's eager to please and interact though. He is trained in sit,stay, down, over, fetch, drop, shake, kennel up.... All the basics, plus he's had off leash training via e-collar. He is also crate trained and fully house trained as well (obviously). If you were to adopt him, I have a crate, food, as well as a latching bin to store food in. A slip chain collar, leather lead, and a very nice e-collar for off leash interactions. If you would like to purchase some or all of those items outside of the adoption we can work that out. If it's not clear already, this dog is 1 that I love and admire very much, and I'm really sad to have to put him up for adoption. I hope someone finds this ad that is looking for a dog to have as a partner and someone active enough to give him what he needs. Hope to hear from a serious dog lover soon.
