Bourbon "Boo Boos"

1 year old 
Male | Neutered 
Birthday: July 23, 2024
Breed: Australian Kelpie X 
Colour: Chocolate & Tan

Loves toys, bones, running around the yard 

Getting more confident with going on walks but still anxious with loud noises and traffic 

Alpha in the home - better with smaller dogs than similar or larger sizes. Would be the best fit as the only dog in the home, without any small children. He doesn’t trust small children or dogs that are a similar or larger size than he is. Will be reactive in pack-setting. Has 4 weeks of obedience training that will need to be up-kept (leash correction, confidence, positive reinforcement) 

Doesn’t like to feel over-beared - trust be earned before touching, petting, hugging. Acts unsure of new people and environments, randomly will bite when feeling threatened, scared, or a situation involving jealousy over food or attention (resource guards food and owner) 

Started off great in our home but after 7 months became overwhelmed by pack. We believe he would thrive and be best suited in a home where he can be the only one where he won’t have to share attention. I wouldn’t trust him around small children or other dogs until full training and his behaviour is 100% corrected. He just needs to find his person, he would be the most loyal companion. He would be the most happy with a large yard with lots of space to run freely, and when he’s alone he keeps himself entertained with toys and bones
