Story
Sydney is a 27 pound, healthy, one year old, spayed, vaccinated BC mix. She is a fun dog with antics that will make you smile many times a day. Her first love is tennis balls, followed by human attention, food and treats, and chew toys. She likes training exercises (treats!) and learns fast! She sleeps deeply through the night in her comfy crate especially if she’s had enough exercise during the day which is easy to accomplish because she’ll play fetch until your arm falls off! DNA test revealed 5 herding breeds (AU Cattle Dog, Mini American Shepherd, AU Shepherd, Shetland Sheepdog, and Border Collie).
Sydney has a very busy mind which results in a bit of generalized anxiety (but NOT separation anxiety!) that is currently being managed with medication once a day. With time, training, and a calm environment, she may be able to reduce or eliminate the medication. As of now she’s a happier, calmer dog on the medication. Because of this generalized anxiety, she can be unpredictable with dogs and would not be an appropriate pet for children. Her dream home would be one with experienced BC person/people who want a constant companion but will not force her in to situations that are uncomfortable for her (slow introductions to new people, places, experiences, and especially new dogs). She is smart and sensitive, will follow you everywhere, look to you for guidance and comfort (and tennis balls). She truly wants to please you but within the boundaries of her particular need to stay calm. She is expressive, has the cutest wiggle butt you’ve EVER seen, and if you love to laugh out loud, she’s your girl! She is currently in the DFW area and ready to be adopted at bcrrt.com.
