Australian cattle dog for a good home

Doc is my two and half year old red heeler (pure bred, parents were both red heelers from Australia)

Unique dog in Ireland as not many to be seen and firm favourite with kids due to the Bluey Cartoon

Due to change of work I no longer have the time to commit to her that she needs.

Doc is hyper intelligent and needs multiple walks and brain stimulation throughout the day (commands work best for this)

As she is a working breed she can be reactive to cats, wild animals etc but her re call is good but will need to be worked on by the new owners, she is nervous around loud noises and machinery but once on the lead is easily calmed

Doc will need a home that is willing to give her the time and effort she needs. She is not suitable for apartments or small homes. She has grown up around small children but would be best suited to teenagers as she does get excited and can be boisterous

Doc has always been on a raw food diet so this will need to continue for her health to thrive. She has had zero health issues to date from the diet

Heelers have a double coat so regular maintenance is required as well as a robust hoover

Thanks for looking

price is for discussion
