My name is Big Ben!

Big Ben is a wannabe herder trapped in a large-framed 150 pound dog. His owner passed away and he needs a new home to meet his exercise and play needs. Ben is very loyal and loving, but quirky as has not yet been willing to ride in cars or let the vet cut his nails. While he is house trained, his size and extremely high energy makes him unsuitable around kiddos and needs property to run out his energy and lose some weight. Seems to bond with guys much easier. He is 4 and is believed to have a mix of husky, blue heeler and Australian cattle dog.
