My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Trixie is very energetic, loves to hang with her people but is very herdy so she would not be good with small children as she might accidently run them over or knock them down. There is no such thing as too much petting or scratching according to Trixie. She is not a snuggler but loves attention. She plays with her toys independently but also likes to have you throw them for her to fetch or tug with her. Squeaky toys are her favorite and at times I think she takes her frustration out on them. She will go grab one of her squeaky toys and walk around the room squawking and grumbling. It almost sounds like she is complaining about something.
She does lack self confidence at times but we are working on that and those times are becoming fewer and fewer. Trixie would do best as an only dog since she does not always play nice with others. She can go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye and will need some type of job other than the normal pet stuff. I think she would be good at agility as she is fast, flexible and a great jumper. She will need a family that is experienced with herding dogs and how they think. She might also be a herding prospect from what I have seen of her with our cows.
