Clyde Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Some friends of mine are after a cattle dog. Must be farm friendly and good with other dogs, they have sheep and chooks but they are fenced off separately. They also have a bossy female JRT. I can't remember the rescue site for ACD's? Is there even someone who specialises in them? It will be a lovely indoor home on acreage. Older retired couple (but healthy/active etc) so probably best not to have a dog that bounces off walls. Cheers. Edited May 7, 2012 by Clyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It will have to be extremely good natured with a bossy female JRT but you can find them! I had one who was a wonderful dog and she tolerated my bossy female JRT type as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipup Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 A local small rescue group here has a few ACD cross pups but they look very ACD. Not sure if they want a pup or adult dog? You could also try Australian Working Dog Rescue or Sophies Choice (?www.sophies-choice.com) And Red Colar Rescue up this way usually has a lot of cattle dogs and crosses, pretty sure they have a few now and they are in desperate need of rehoming some dogs.

tdierikx Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We've just got a lovely little ACD cross girl in from one of the pounds - she has shortish legs and is kinda large (read Cardigan) Corgi sized. White with tan spots, and gorgeous blue eyes. She's somewhere between 6-12 months old and gets on great with other dogs of all sizes. We can test her with a couple of sheep, but don't have any chooks to test her with. She has an adorable nature and loves her cuddles. We don't know how she wasn't adopted by anyone straight from the pound - she is a dream dog! We have tentatively named her Sweet Pea... *grin* She will be available for rehoming in a couple of weeks or so. T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sorry, only just remembered about this thread as I saw my friends again today. They are still keen for the right dog and I have found one who sounds AWESOME on Pet Rescue. He is with AWDRI. Are they are DOL does anyone know? Your girl sounds a little young Tdierikx but thanks anyway. They really want a more mature dog. While their girl is a sooky princess she is by no means dominant so needs a soft natured companion who won't bully her. Still open to other suggestions, just quietly hoping that the ACD on Pet Rescue is still available. They aren't fussed if the dog is a cross breed but do like the working types as they've previously had ACD's. I would give them my first born, they are just such lovely people and can offer a brilliant home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biku Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi. I can also reccommend SLK rescue. They specialise in cattle dogs and are in NSW. Lovely lady runs it. Their facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/SLKCattleDogRescue They probably have a website too, but I am familiar with the facebook page.
