Teddy is a Austalian Shepherd born September 22, 2013. He does act shy around strangers as he came from a breeder. However, like the others we have here, he has a good temperament. He is walking well on a leash and starting to greet everyone that comes to visit him. He is an active boy that would love an active family with older children. We do require a fenced yard to adopt this boy. He is neutered and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention. The breed is typically highly energetic, requiring a great deal of exercise and attention, although some can be calm and easy-going. An Australian shepherd enjoys working, whether it is learning and practicing tricks, competing in dog agility, or engaging in any other physically and mentally involving activity. Dogs may show reserved and cautious guarding behaviors. They are kind, loving, and devoted to those they know. They are very loyal to their owners, and are rewarding dogs if treated well. The Aussie is intelligent, learns quickly, and loves to play. Without something to amuse them, Aussies can become destructive. Aussies also do best with plenty of human companionship: they are often called "Velcro Dogs" for their strong desire to always be near their owners and for their tendency to form intense, devoted bonds with select people. Australian shepherds can become extremely destructive if their energy is not directed in a positive way. These dogs require a minimum of 2–3 hours a day of play, exercise, and attention. They thrive in rural, ranch like conditions, and need space to run and play in an urban setting. The Australian shepherd is a high-spirited dog, that requires much attention and work. Teaching them tricks keeps them focused and happy, which also keeps their minds working. If you are interested in adopting, please submit an application at www.richardsonrescue.org.
