Bambi |
Sweet, smart, Aussie/Border Collie dog.
Bambi is about 3 years old, is in good health, is current on her shots, and is spayed. She is an outside
dog, but is used to sleeping in a dog house or kennel on a porch at night.
Both of Bambi's litter mates that I am familiar with have become excellent cattle dogs. She shows interest
in herding, but for right now is afraid of cattle since she has only seen them 3 times. The first time I introduced
her to cattle, she couldn't be led into the corral. The second time I could lead her in, let her off leash, and with
coaxing get her to come to me. The last time I led her into the corral, she ran around the cattle
barking at them when I let her off leash. I realize this isn't desirable in a herding dog, but believe she is a SUPER
fast learner, that has lived a sheltered life and needs time to adjust to new environments.
She gets along with other dogs, but has never lived with cats. She loves to be groomed (something
that has probably only happened once in her life), and she really likes people. Her previous owner
was crippled. He gave her the attention he could, but had to keep her away with a stick so she wouldn't knock
him over. She has some odd movements when approaching people, and can be shy due to this, but does not act
like the typical abused dog who has had a stick taken to her. I have introduced her to many people over the 3
weeks she has been with me, and have no concerns about her being aggressive to people of any age.
Even with her lack of exposure, she has adjusted well to her move to my place. Due to his failing health, the gentleman had
tried to place Bambi for 3 weeks, and then he fell and broke his shoulder so he could not remain in his home. Neighbors
had grown tired of helping him with his two dogs, so he felt his only option was to have both dogs put down. A
friend contacted me, and I am fostering this one. I have a large back yard and another small dog, so Bambi is fine here for
now. She's so easy to care for that I could keep her for a very long time. However, I don't have as much time to spend with
her as I'd like, so if you can find someone looking for a fabulous pet, please let me know. Have anyone interested leave me
a message at 575-376-3084. I live in Cimarron, NM and this is where Bambi is located. |
