Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oakley is a1.5yo Aussie mix. He's a beautiful blue merle guy who is appx 50lbs. Between the couple shedding times, fall and spring, his hair loss is easily manageable. Oakley does not mind baths and the groomers rave about him! His coat is sooo soft and shiny. You will love touching him. Oakley knows basic commands like no, sit, drop, lay down, shake. He's actually really relaxed when the house is calm and is often ready for and knows bed time. He's the perfect alarm clock. If your alarm clock failed he would know and wake you up on the nose. Does still get excited and jumpy when people come to the door but I think it can be fixed with a little proper direction. He doesnt do it to me because he knows I wont allow it so I know he has the concept down. Is a MAJOR lover and is easy to love. He likes to be in close proximity to you or touching you when he lays down. He will often put his head on your lap and just lovingly stare at you and if you let him he will curl up on your lap just to be next to you. Have not seen him with small children but I think if he is taught boundaries he will be fine. Has never pottied in the house and will often go to the door to be let out. Oakley can be trusted loose in the house and does not destroy the house when you are gone, but he may sit on the couch. He does not have a problem with kennels and understands its a safe place. Oakley loves to fetch but needs a little coaxing to bring the ball back yet. If you are sitting he will bring it to you but if you are standing and waiting he thinks its a game. Oakley gets along great with other dogs with no problem and loves to play with them. He will play for hours if another dog is willing to do the same. He has no problem if you get into his food while hes eating or if you put your hand near a treat. Tested this many times with no problem. Very trusting. Walks well on leash with occasional pull. Is alert at night when he needs to be. Loves toys-kong is best because they last more than a day. He often rolls on his back, legs spread and chews on his toy with no care in the world! Oakley sleeps with his head under couch or bed and gives a deep sigh when lights are out. Quite comical! Right now he spends most of his times loose in doors with free access to back yard now that it is warmer out. Have noticed a couple shallow holes in the yard but he does not consistently do it. I think he ran out of places to hide his bones. Does not have a problem being out in the snow for extended periods of time as long as he has something to do and its not freezing. He rides in a car very calmly without barking. He is extremely smart and wants to please you. Oakley is utd on vaccs and neutered. He is fostering in Plymouth, MN.
