Beau - 4yr old male Koolie

Beau - 4yr old male Koolie

This is Beau and he is a 4yr old solid black Koolie (he will be 5 in October)

Beau did have previous exposure to stock work in his first home (owner passed away), and would make a great pet, sporting dog, or herding dog.

Beau has the most beautiful nature towards adults, kids, dogs his size and larger, loves to run (!), cuddle, get pats, but he does not like small dogs (and potentially small animals but haven’t experienced). His prey drive towards them has become problematic given currently not in a rural home.

Beau needs a home where someone can give him what he needs and deserves - a home where he is either a solo dog or part of a group of similar sized dogs, a sporting/herding home where he has a job - a home with land so he doesn’t have to venture into the realm of small dogs on his daily walks or exercise.

He is fully vaccinated, desexed and wormed every month.

Strengths

* Beautiful temperament with humans and children. He LOVES cuddles, couch cuddles and pats. Does his “head down, bum up” for his pats.

* Friendly with other dogs as long as they are his size or bigger. He does not like small dogs (and I therefore assume small animals as well - but we haven’t experienced it).

* Walks well on the lead

* Has a fairly ok recall to me. Would need to adjust to someone new

* very smart and treat orientated

* strong drive - if you gave him a sport/herding purpose, he would love it.

* Has d both city and rural (rural previous home)

Weaknesses

* Has shown prey drive towards small dogs - wants to chase them. He never been around small animals of any other kind.

He would require an active home - rural home or home with decent land
