Story
Gigi is a beautiful brindle love bug! Her ancestry is primarily Australian Cattle Dog, which makes sense because she's loyal, trainable, very smart, and wants to please. She's affectionate, active, playful, cuddly, gets along well with other dogs, and is an EXCELLENT swimmer. I've taken her paddle-boarding several times and she sometimes preferred swimming alongside me, rather than staying on the board! She trains well with repetition and picks up commands quite well because I secretly think she thinks she's human. The "head tilt" when she doesn't understand a new word is hilarious. She would do well in a home with a yard and an active playmate as she is very playful and loves to jump around with her bestie, playing tag, chase, and tug. She has many charming, inherent tools to convince a playmate to play or her caregiver to give her some love. She's an excellent saleswoman and usually gets her way, thanks to her adorably sincere eyes/demeanor and gives as much as she gets.
Gigi is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and is in excellent health. She would be great in an active home with another dog or kids (as long as they're big enough to not accidentally get knocked over by her excitement). She's never been around cats, but I suspect she'd want to play, so it would likely depend on the cat's personality. She's house trained, uses a doggie door, know sit, shake, other hand shake, is an excellent catch by mouth with tossed treats, and we're working on "stay" and "off".
Gigi is estimated to be two years old and 35 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown.
