Story
We are heartbroken to need to find our mini Aussie Mandy (40lbs) a new loving home. someone who will treat her as a best friend and take her on long walks and play with her and enjoy her snuggles on the couch. We got her at 6 wks, her dob is 12/23/18 she is very smart. She is on Revolution heart-worm and flea treatment (the other meds bother her stomach) and she is micro-chipped and vetted well with all vaccinations. We have a fenced yard, she will let us know when she needs to potty and barks to come in, she is not a digger and is very good to let us know when someone is delivering a package. We were told she was a purebred mini Aussie but we believe she might have border collie too. Mandy is excellent in the house, no chewing on anything no separation anxiety and is house broken. Mandy is very people centered and gets along well with our submissive male dog, she gets along with our granddogs but not our young grand children. She has a dominant personality but is very sweet.
