Blue is a stunning but wary Australian Cattle Dog who seems unused to being around people. She’s very timid and working on getting used to being handled, but underneath her fear is a dog who is quietly observing, thinking, and trying her best.
Blue prefers to keep her distance from people. She’ll cautiously sniff a hand, take treats gently, and then retreat to a spot where she feels safer. Sudden movements or loud noises can startle her, and she may hunker down or try to dart away when she’s overwhelmed.
Despite her nerves, Blue has already shown some improvement. Though scared of having the leash put on it, once it`s on she walks pretty well on it, all things considered. She does sometimes want to stop for a moment to gather her courage though. She does best when things are calm and quiet — when you sit down and move slowly she feels a little more comfortable. She`s always wary and keeps a close eye on you, but with patience she`ll allow you to pet her a bit - but you can tell she`s skittish and doesn`t know what to make of it.
Blue is full of potential - she just needs a kind, patient someone to help her achieve it! If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to help a shy dog learn to trust, Blue may be the one waiting for you.
