Aussie is a stunningly handsome, beautiful dog who is bright and quick to learn.  Friendly and playful with everyone, even the postman and delivery people.  Happy loops and chase are his favourite activity as well as tug of war with a pair of socks, which he even manages to throw to himself.  Agile with long legs, Aussie can really move fast.

Clean in the house, he sleeps soundly at night downstairs and prefers a lay in rather than a really early start!   He is doing well with commands such as sit and recall, ‘lay down’ and ‘in your bed’ is work in progress.  Responds well to food rewards and seems to have a highly tuned nose.  He has learnt to stop mouthing with play, but sometimes forgets and will need work on that. He enjoys tummy rubs and is affectionate, but in his time and we wait for him to approach us, which he does regularly.  He likes his own space in the evening and doesn’t bother you at the dining room table, just an initial sniff then goes away.

At the rescue centre he lived in a yard with another female dog which he obviously adored.  Going to a home with another female dog could suit him well.  He has two walks a day and uses a harness.  On the whole he loves meeting other dogs to play with
