Story
Billabong is a high energy, high action, all-things-Australian kind of dog! He's about a year and a half old and has the stamina to show for it. His intelligence is just as sharp as the rest of him, already knowing some of his essential cues - sit, down, paw, and speak. As an ACD, he thrives in the outdoors with plenty of room to run, jump, and play. He'll do the same indoors, of course, just with a whole lot more obstacles in the way.He's personable and friendly once he gets to know you with no issues being handled. He's even happy to climb up onto your shoulders if you were to let him to! (Warning, we do not recommend doing this at home.) There is an initial stranger danger phase where he'll bark and sniff you out, but it's just his way of saying hello. Once toys or treats are in the picture, it's all over. He'll be your best friend until the end of time and stuck as his fetch machine for the next few hours. No aggression has been seen with food, toys, high value treats, or handling, and he's only proven to be a certified Good Boy.If you're interested in Billabong, we're slightly selective with the way we're going to place him. We don't want to place him in a house with cats as the breed has a prey drive, and kids in the home have to be over the age of 12 since we don't know his history with them. Big dogs he seems to be nervous around, while smaller dogs make him feel more comfortable and he'll open up more readily to them. Keep in mind this breed is one that typically exists on farms to keep them physically and mentally stimulated, so this is not going to be an apartment dog. He'll be ideal for a family that's active, outdoorsy, and can keep up with the needs of a tenacious pup. Billabong will come neutered, microchipped, with his Rabies and distemper vaccines, a heartworm test, his heartworm preventative, and his flea/tick for the month. Please fill out an application on our site, ForeverPaws.com, before booking an appointment. If you're already approved with us, however, feel free to give us a call and set up an appointment to meet Billabong today! As he will be meeting multiple families as the applications come in, please don't expect to walk out with him same day. We operate off of best fit for our animals vs. first come first served. Thank you for understanding!
