My name is Echo!

 ECHO (M) 

BREED: Queensland Blue Heeler mix

AGE: 12 weeks old

WEIGHT: 11 lbs.

LIKES: Rope toys and wrestling with other dogs. Echo is a teething pup, so he likes bones, sticks, and “stuffies”, and is exploring his world with his mouth.

DISLIKES: Being sprayed with a spray bottle to deter him when he chews something he shouldn't, which means he readily responds to verbal correction.

PERSONALITY TRAITS: He has a great temperament, and would make a wonderful family dog. He has moments of playfulness, and loves to play with other dogs. Echo is also happy to snuggle down on a dog bed, and is not especially needy for human attention, but he is happy to get it when he can. Echo will bark when he needs to tell you something, but overall is a quiet boy.

POTTY TRAINING STATUS: Working on it, with regular trips outside.

CRATE TRAINING STATUS: He will put himself in his crate for rest periods during the day (sometimes) and has done so at night, as well. Sometimes, he isn’t ready for bed when his fosters humans are (catching that 11:PM "second wind") so he may whine for a bit before settling down.

EXTRAS/MISC.: Though Echo’s mom was a Heeler, we don't know what breed his dad is. Based on the temperament, it seems he was a calmer breed as Echo does not exhibit some of the hyperactive traits of the Heeler breed. Echo is smart and learns quickly. He respect boundaries in his foster home (like not going into the garage when the door is open). He also isn’t so needy that he wants to be on the couch. A dog bed or blanket on the floor is sufficient.

We expect Echo to likely grow to be 30-40 pounds, when grown.

All puppies require extra time and patience, as well as solid supervision to help them reach expected milestones, like potty training and crate training. Each has their own personality that their forever family will want to pay close attention to as they “train” together to develop a well adjusted adult in the future.
