My story

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

Boba was acquired at a young age from a friend of a friend. He is currently 3 years old. My wife and I are looking to re-home Boba for a number of reasons.

1. Resource Guarding. Aussies are known to be resource guarders. Unfortunately this has led to some unfortunate behaviors. When my Wife and I started dating I was bitten a few times due to this. In addition, he has pounced (but not bitten) a niece. He almost bit my puppy when we were visiting one weekend. These behaviors are not taken lightly. When my wife is not home he is what I consider a normal dog. He does not resource guard anyone or anything. Due to this it is important that his adopter knows how to counteract this behavior and is willing to put in the time.

2. Exercise. Aussies are working dogs. With kids on the horizon we will have less time to focus on him and his needs. Please reach out if you have questions. I ran out of space.
