About Jake

I'm sure like most people, I never thought I would have to be here doing this to my precious fur baby. Jake is an 8 year old, 40 lb. male mini Aussie. I have 3 Aussies total, one is his littermate. Jake is alpha, and he always has been. Him and his brother fight often because he initiates the fights, but they have never 'bitten' each other or truly hurt each other. It is usually a teeth show off and scary snarls with nipping. Unfortunately, now I have an 18-month-old, and their brotherly 'quarrels' are happening with her around and close by. I can't take a chance with her getting accidentally in the middle of their fights and getting hurt. Please know, Jake has so much love to give. I think he would die for us trying to protect us. However, because he is so protective, he can seem possessive and aggressive, but he really isn't. I think he would be such a happier pup if he were the only dog and got all of the attention. I've had him and his brother since they were 6 months old. They grew up in a house with 6 kids. Once he 'chooses' you, he will never have anything but love for you. I say he is good with kids and adults, but I say that cautiously. He is amazing with us, his family, but he isn't good with abrupt visitors and strangers, and it may take him a while to calm down and warm up to someone new. He isn't good with other dogs. I think he loves playing with my two other Aussies, but he grew up with them, and again, it usually ends up in a quarrel of some sort. It was easier to tolerate when there were not small children around. I would love for someone who is well-versed with this breed to consider him. He is just a typical Aussie, high-strung, high-stressed, may nip at strangers kind of Aussie. But, he is crazy smart and again, very loving when he gains your trust. There have never been any aggression issues with vets and groomers.
