About Maple

Howdy, I'm Maple! Maple is a young, petite, female, Australian cattle dog, currently being fostered in Eugene, Oregon. Maple is a very, very fun and exuberant dog, but is also a LOT of dog. She is a very sweet dog but her impulsiveness and herding drive make her a dog for a person experienced with the breed and willing to spend time and energy on continuing her training. All that is to say Maple is a true 'diamond in the rough'. The flip side of Maple's intelligence and enthusiasm for life are what make her a challenging dog to be sure. So, what adjectives best describe Maple? She is smart, curious, happy, energetic, has personality plus, athletic, fun, funny, up for anything, and a great hiking companion. Maple's ideal home would be on acreage with a fully fenced area for her to play in safely without worry of her being able to escape. Her ideal adopter(s) would be an outdoorsy person/people with an active lifestyle. She will need an owner who is willing to continue working on impulse control (not running out the door, staying, waiting for permission in general). Once Maple gets a good workout, she settles in the house nicely for a nap. Maple is crate trained and she sleeps, eats and rides in a crate. She loves learning tricks and is easy to train. Maple loves her foster family border collie brothers, but plays very rough and does not respect their personal space. Any adopter continuing to work on Maple's training by supervising her play with other dogs, not letting her chase squirrels, teaching her bite inhibition, and generally teaching her how to control her herding instincts will go a long way to making Maple a fantastic companion. Maple is currently being fostered in Eugene, Oregon. She is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated and ready to find her forever home.
