This is so sad for me to write. This is not something we ever wanted to do. Our 7 month old has significant allergies. Initially we assumed one of her allergies was to cats, so we moved our three indoor/outdoor cats to outside only and even adopted out the one kitty that liked to be inside more than outside because she was not happy being relegated to outside and without regular pets. After no improvement without the cats and an obsessively clean home and a multitude of HEPA filters, furniture shampooing, etc.; we had her allergy tested and she is allergic to dogs, not cats (among other things). We absolutely love our dogs and have had them for 8 and 10 years. We have tried everything to make this situation work and it has not been successful for our pups or our daughter. We cannot touch them and then touch her. We can't let them even rub up against us in love and then do our laundry with hers. It is not a good situation for our wonderful dogs. They deserve so much more, and we can't give that to them anymore. They are so used to so much love, and hopping in the back of the truck with our camper shell on and going with us everywhere. So now it is our duty to find them new families that will be able to love them like we have for so many years. We do not require them to go to the same home, but if a family would like to adopt both, we think it would kind for them. These dogs have gone everywhere with us. They went to Canada on our honeymoon with us for a two week road trip, they backpack with us, mountain bike, kayak, snow shoe, and everything in between. They went on a road trip when our eldest child was just 3 months old. Two adults, a baby, and two dogs all slept in the camper shell of our truck together and it was successful. These pups absolutely love being with their family and especially love to travel and adventure. They are used to being outdoor most of the time during fair weather, but will gladly hangout inside for hours. They sleep on their dog beds in our bathroom at night. They are both very used to cats, chickens, geese, Guinea hens, cattle, horses, and toddlers. Neither of them chew or dig. They are not at all interested in toys either. Hi, I am Jude. Judy, Judeth, Rudeth, Tude, etc. I have one of the biggest personalities in a dog that you could possibly imagine. I am a 13-year-old Blue Heeler, Aussie, Dingo mix and have been with my family for 10 years. You would not know I am 13 based on my agility and health. I get the zoomies regularly and will gladly climb a short fence once I'm finished with my breakfast. That said, if I receive regular walk and run time and some off leash dog park or large yard time most of my day is spent lounging around the house. Inside and outside. If I do not receive regular time to get my energy and curiosity out, I get talkative. I am a vocal communicator and will let you know if someone comes to the door. But once my family says it's okay, and I get to sniff the new human, I will go lay down. I do prefer warmer weather and will sunbathe on many a summer day and lay exceptionally close to the wood burning stove in the winter. I am great with kids, younger and older. Arguably one of the best non-labrador dogs with kids my family has ever seen. I allow children to pet me and are completely okay with them near my food or gently touching my face, ears, and belly. If they poke me too hard, I will yelp, but not go after the children. I love being pet and do great getting bathed, brushed, or having my nails trimmed. I love my family, and am always excited to see them! I am highly treat motivated. I do very well on a leash and do not pull. When I am on a leash and away from the house, bicyclists and skateboarders usually don't bother me, but when they are in front of my house, I tend to try to herd them. I need a fully 6' fenced yard ideally in the country without the click clack of skateboarders riding down the sidewalk. If I see a squirrel or something else exciting, I will go after it. But, I have always come home. I do great with other dogs of all ages do not respond aggressively even when taunted by others at the dog park. I would love to go somewhere with some other animals for entertainment. I am microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and the vet does not have any health concerns for me. I do have a couple of benign tumors, but they do not seem to cause me discomfort. Please feel free to reach out to my family for any questions, they only want what is best for me.
