Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bubba! He’s a 10 month old male cattle dog-border collie mix -- the handsome result of an accidental litter in Texas. Bubba is a very sweet, goofy, loving boy who enjoys hanging out with his pack and is happy to meet other polite dogs and humans. He’s full of playful energy and loves to do zoomies and catch-me-if-you-can in the back yard, showing huge possibilities of agility training. His acrobatic ball catching could land him a position on a major league baseball team. Because of his high energy and athletic abilities he is not a good option for homes with small children.
Bubba also enjoys leisurely walks in the neighborhood while practicing his leash training. He's doing quite well with minimal pulling, though he will lunge at a squirrel or cat if given the chance. With Bubba’s prey drive, we will not consider a home with cats or other small animals.
Bubba would benefit from having another playful dog to hang out with since he’s lived with other dogs his whole life. He’s been very respectful of his smaller, super senior doggy housemate, who can be a little grumpy sometimes. Bubba doesn't guard his food or toys from other dogs in the home.
Bubba is great in his crate during the night, though he’d prefer to sleep with his human(s). He does well in his crate during the day if given a treat stuffed toy or other chew toys. He seems to have a sensitive stomach and doesn't do well with lots of treats or chicken-based products. Right now he's doing well on an alternative protein kibble (Taste of the Wild) in the foster home.
Bubba has been in homes where he can be outside in a yard a lot during the day, weather permitting, so ideally his furever home will have a fenced yard big enough to run and play with his new family pack. Bubba would benefit from continued basic obedience training, in addition to other mentally engaging activities. He is high energy and has a lot of stamina so he'd do well in a home with regular exercise.
