Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in South Bend, Indiana

Obi is a stunning 4 month old black and tan cattle dog/border collie mix. He is silly, sweet, loving, cuddly, energetic and fun! He lived with 4 puppies previously and currently lives with 2 adult dogs. He loves to play with them and definitely needs room to run. Obi lives with 3 kids ages 10 and up and loves to chase them around the yard. He's interested in cats but backs off if they don't want him around. Obi did a trial in an apartment and things didn't work out. He needs an outlet for his energy so a fenced in yard will be a requirement for this guy. He walks well on a leash but is definitely working on his manners when it comes to meeting other dogs. Having a likely large mix of working dog, Obi loves having a job and would be fun and exciting to train.
