Story
Wally was born October of 2018. Ive had him since he was 8 weeks old. Hes very smart and obedient. Voice command trained. Prefers off leash. He loves to run and fetch. Tons of energy. Very loyal. Affectionate and is always giving happy licks to the people he loves. And, of course, hes very handsome. He gets a lot of attention when we go out haha Wally has always lived with other dogs. Hes dominant and slightly selfish. Hes a herder through and through. He does have a strong instinct to nip heels. Ive worked in that since he was a pup but his breed is strong. Ive battled with myself on keeping him for almost a year now. What it comes down to is I cant give him the attention he deserves with my schedule. I work at a hospital full time, many long hour days. I have a child who takes the rest of my time. Ideally his new owner would have the free time to spend taking him on hikes or to the park or simply fetch in the backyard

Story
Dakota is a 2 year old red heeler. She was a farm dog before we moved into town. She is incredibly smart and loyal. She is use to having a large yard. She has never run off on us and is easy to call back. I take her hiking/running with me on trails and sticks right by. She is use to being around chickens, cats, our other family dog and kids. She is not destructive at all and learns really quickly. She is an outside dog for us and occasionally goes in a kennel inside on cold nights. She is however very protective and will bark and herd other people she deems threatening. She can be aggressive towards other dogs on the trail. I typically will leash her when we come up to other people and dogs. She recently was taken to a park and nipped at a young kid trying to pet her. We have really enjoyed having her but with us moving back to a neighborhood she has not adjusted in the way we had hoped.
