About Kilby

I unfortunately am unexpectedly becoming a single mom at 38 weeks pregnant. So this is written with a heavy heart, lots of hesitation and push back at what I feel is best for him and I. But a newborn baby, and Australian shepherd who still needs training and consistency, both deserve the attention they need to thrive and I don't think I can provide that alone to both. Please only serious inquiries only who can follow through with the following. He is 1 year 6 months Red Merle Male 55 pounds Not neutered yet and is getting up to date on all vaccines - can provide vet records An active home is preferred. A home that can give him the attention and a job is preferred. However, very adaptable. Very trainable. Kilby is the sweetest love bug. He will literally give you hugs sitting on his hind legs. He is great with strangers and new people in his home environment, where is feels safe. He needs an owner who understands Australian shepherds, who is very patient, consistent, and will work with him in public outdoor spaces with strangers and kids. There has been no common denominator but he sometimes gets scared about little kids and will bark at them, never little girls, only boys. I believe he just needs more exposure and to be worked with more in unknown environments. Again, completely comfortable in his own environment. He is anxious in unknown territory and is protective. He gets startled easily, he is anxious when hearing strange noises, seeing shadows at night, etc. and will bark. But calms down when I am attentive to him in those moments. He does not like to be left alone, so getting him in the crate sometimes is hard, he will bark once left for about 10 minutes and then does calm down. However, he Is great in the crate over night. He knows commands such as sit, stay, wait, lay, down, drop, come, upup, bring it back, no bark Release word: okay LOVES TO PLAY, loves balls, loves other animals so much. Sometimes doesn't know how to control his excitement when meeting people or other dogs - needs a home where they can help calm him down. Very very smart and will try to test his limits with commands. He is still learning: So again, an owner who understands the stubborn, strong willed mindset at times. And understands he is still a learning pup. He won't run away from home but acts like he will so you chase him. He has been the best companion during one of the hardest years of my life and I wish I had the mental capacity to attend to him and a newborn at the same time. I am sick writing this out and never expected this. please message me if you feel you are a good fit, have patience and time to attend
