Protege # 0143

Liddy is an adorable 14 week old Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog puppy. Out of the three puppies from this litter that Protege got in, Liddy is by far the largest. Of course, we aren’t sure how big any of the puppies will get but are guessing Liddy will end up being on the larger-side.

So far Liddy has been quite the charming house guest. Although she is not completely potty trained yet, she does generally go when she’s taken outside and can make it overnight (or during a 6-8 hr work day) in her crate with no accidents. She has had some small accidents in the house when given the chance to roam free, but she is learning.

Liddy sleeps through the night quietly in her crate and generally sleeps during car rides. Although Liddy doesn’t love her crate, she is usually quiet in it after one or two corrections. Liddy is too young to have a LOT of training, but so far her recall is very good inside and out. That of course is something that will stick with practice. Liddy would benefit from beginning puppy obedience. She is good with other dogs and all humans.

Although Liddy’s foster home does not have cats, her brother is decent with cats and Liddy may be as well. Liddy loves all toys, especially soft toys, bones and tugs. She is also a great eater and is very food motivated. Liddy does tend to want to chew shoes and she likes to carry other articles of clothing around the house. She is a typical puppy and needs to be molded into a well-behaved dog. Liddy is outgoing and incredible happy.

Liddy is being fostered in Cedar Rapids. She is up-to-date on puppy shots and will be spayed before adoption. For more information about Liddy, contact Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com.
