Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BESSIE****CONTACT SHARON ddogresq@aol.com*** BESSIE--GENTLE--LOVING--"SPECIAL"--WE REFER TO BESSIE IN OUR HEADING AS "SPECIAL" AND IN A WAY SHE IS, BESSIE IS DEAF!!! WE SEE THIS IN THE "BLUE MERLE" CATTLE DOGS AND WHITE BORDER COLLIES AND WE FEEL THAT BESSIE WAS PROBABLY BORN DEAF. BEING DEAF HER WHOLE LIFE THIS IS ALL SHE HAS KNOWN BUT ALTHOUGH SHE CAN'T HEAR SHE HEARS IN OTHER WAYS. SHE HEARS WITH HER EYES WHEN SHE SEES YOU SMILE AT HER. SHE HEARS WITH TOUCH WHEN YOU GIVE HER A PAT OR RUB ! BEING A COMBINATION OF TWO EXTREMELY SMART BREEDS BESSIE HAS MADE UP FOR BEING DEAF IN SO MANY WAYS. SHE IS LEARNING HAND SIGNALS AND SEEMS TO INTUITIVELY UNDERSTAND BODY LANGUAGE. SHE IS A PUP WHO ALTHOUGH DEAF SHE TRULY ENJOYS LIFE. THE BORDER COLLIE AND AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER ARE BREEDS THAT ARE LOYAL, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, ROBUST, AGILE AND SOOOOO SMART. THEY ARE BREEDS THAT DELIGHT IN EXERCISE. TAKE HER FOR AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG AND WE HOPE YOU'RE IN GREAT SHAPE WHEN YOU TAKE OUR STAR ATHLETE OUT FOR A WALK OR RUN. SHE IS ONE "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP!!! JUST LET HER SEE YOU SMILE AND NOW THE FUN BEGINS, THOSE DREAMY EYES WILL START TO SPARKLE, SHE WILL PRANCE RIGHT OVER TO YOU, TAIL WAGGING ONCE SHE GETS TO YOU SHE WILL GIVE YOU A LOOK THAT SEEMS TO SAY "PAT ME--LOVE ME". SHE HAS A GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND PERSONALITY. BESSIE WOULD BE A PERFECT ADDITION TO THE LIVES OF AN ACTIVE COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER "LET'S GO" CHILDREN AS THE MORE EXCITEMENT, PLACES TO GO AND THINGS TO DO WOULD SUIT THIS COMPANION PUP TO A TEE. BESSIE'S PERFECT DAY, A ROMP IN HER BIG FENCED YARD WITH A FEW DOZEN TOYS AND HER BEST FRIEND, YOU, TO PLAY WITH. SHE ALSO DELIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS JUST A BUDDY FOR HER TO ROMP AND PLAY WITH. IF YOUR DAY STARTED WITH A BRISK WALK OR JOG BESSIE WOULD BEAT YOU TO THE DOOR, A DOG WITH INCREDIBLE STAMINA, ALL READY FOR HER NEXT ADVENTURE. THE BORDER COLLIE/AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER ARE BREEDS THAT LOVE AND NEED DAILY EXERCISE. SHE WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE LIVES OF AN OWNER WHO HAS LAND IN A COUNTRY SETTING SO THIS GORGEOUS PUP CAN RUN AND STRETCH THOSE LONG LEGS. THERE IS ONE MORE PART TO BESSIE'S PACKAGE, THIS PUP IS SOOOOO SMART!!! SHE IS A VERY ALERT AND ALTHOUGH HE CAN'T HEAR HER SIGHT IS SUPER KEEN. HE IS ALWAYS AWEAR OF HER SURROUNDINGS, NEVER MISSING A THING. SHE IS EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH AND DELIGHTS IN PLEASING. HER COMBINED BREEDS LOVE AGILITY, RETRIEVING AND COMPETITIVE OBEDIENCE. THE POTENTIAL FOR BESSIE IS HUGE!!! SHE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" AND NEEDS AN OWNER THAT UNDERSTANDS THAT SHE IS "SPECIAL" AND ALTHOUGH SHE CAN'T HEAR SHE MAKES UP FOR IT IN SO MANY OTHER WAYS. SHE DESERVES AN OWNER THAT IS WILLING TO TEACH, TRAIN AND WATCH THIS OUTSTANDING GIRL SHINE. AT THE END OF THE DAY ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY, WHEN YOU SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING GIVE BESSIE A PAT AND SHE WILL SNUGGLE IN AT YOUR FEET. SHE WILL NAP CONTENT AND HAPPY KNOWING SHE IS WITH THE PERSON SHE LOVES MOST IN THE WORLD YOU. WE WILL NEVER KNOW ALL OF BESSIE'S STORY HOW SHE ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD ALONE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. WAS SHE THROWN AWAY WHEN HER OWNER LEARNED SHE WAS DEAF?--POSSIBLY!!! IF SO THIS WAS A TRAGEDY AND JUST BECAUSE SHE CAN'T HEAR SHE HEARS WITH HER HEART AND SPIRIT. SHE MAKES UP FOR BEING DEAF IN SO MANY OTHER WAYS. BESSIE DOESN'T KNOW SHE IS DEAF, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO HER WE ARE HOPING TO FIND AN OWNER THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM EITHER!!! IF THE COMPANION YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE THAT IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERYDAY, A PUP WITH A GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, A PUP WHO'S WORLD CENTERS AROUND HER FAMILY, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER YOU'VE FOUND BESSIE. WE KNOW THAT BESSIE'S MIRACLE IS OUT THERE AN OWNER WHO KNOWS THIS PUP IS "SPECIAL" BUT SPECIAL IN A GREAT WAY.
BESSIE IS SPAYED, SHE IS CURRENT ON ALL VACCINATIONS INCLUDING BORDETELLA AND RABIES. SHE IS HEARTWORM NEGATIVE, ON PREVENTATIVE, DEWORMED AND ON FLEA AND TICK PREVENTATIVE AS WELL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING BESSIE A PART OF YOUR LIFE PLEASE CONTACT***SHARON ddogresq@aol.com
