Misty

My story

In Oliver Springs: This sweet girl is Misty. She is an 11-month-old Aussie blend puppy and gets along well with other dogs but can be bossy and will take toys away from other dogs and show resource guarding with toys and the couch. No growling but barks and is EASILLY CORRECTED. She is fine with less dominant dogs and seems to like and respect the foster mom’s female more than the male although they all play well together. She is loveable but can be a bit intense because of her size and puppy energy. She seems to love everyone she meets. No small children because she’s so big and high energy. She is a barker and will bark at other dogs when she sees them, but it seems like it’s because she wants to play and just gets excited. Misty does well in the car and loves to go for rides. She walks okay on a leash but needs more work to not pull. She does jump up on people because she is so excited to meet everyone, but we have been working with her, and she is getting better. She will counter surf and needs more work and correction and since she is still a puppy, she will also chew blankets, toys, shoes if available, so proper puppy toys should be available and important items kept out of reach until she is older. We do crate her when we are out and at night and she does great and will go in when offered a treat. She will chase cats because she’s still a puppy and thinks the noises they make sound fun to play with. I think she may grow out of this with a dog savvy cat. Mine just avoid her. Misty is a bundle of love with no concept of her size. She was 68 pounds on her last vet visit and is about 11 months old now. She will lay on top of you for love, snuggles and affection. She has so much love to give.
