Red walks into every room like he pays the rent, acts like he invented fetch, and carries himself with just enough swagger to make you think he's the CEO of the Humane Society. But don't let that act fool you... beneath all that rizz is a complete marshmallow who secretly just wants love, snacks, and someone to tell him he's a very handsome boy!

🚫 Red's Official Dislike List:
* Your ex.
* Empty treat bags.
* Birds that refuse to acknowledge his authority.

As a herding dog, Red takes his job very seriously. Running? Absolutely allowed... but only if everyone follows the rules. And who makes the rules? Red, of course. They also change daily, depending on his mood. He gets along well with other dogs who are willing to fall in line with his ever-evolving management style. Except Susan. Red REALLY likes Susan & she gets a free pass on the rules. Think of him less as the fun police and more as an enthusiastic middle manager who can't help himself!

But truthfully, Red is an affectionate, goofy boy with a soft heart. Once he's clocked out from supervising the neighborhood and ensuring everyone is following today's rules, he's more than happy to cash in on cuddles, spend quality time with his favorite people & eat ALL the snacks. But Red is also a food critic - so make sure the snacks are of high value!

Red has amazing leash manners & will happily follow your pace. But he prefers his pace, which is very very casual. He also keeps his kennel very tidy so we have every reason to believe he's house trained!

If you're looking for a dog with personality, swagger, confidence, and enough charm to keep you laughing every day, Red is ready to take over your heart... and probably your house... 🐾

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.
