Meet Shadow
Breed: Border Collie Cross
Barking from: Mosgiel, Dunedin
What's up, dog?
For a young boisterous social 1 year old, this lovely boy has a beautiful gentle nature for his size. He enjoys all the attention he can receive from adults down to children and even dogs. For little dogs, he will drop down to the ground to play. He seems to attract plenty of attention and will sit and take all the patting he can receive until that person stops and he will ask for more. His excitement cannot be contained sometimes when he knows someone. So proud of his training he is so keen to learn and hope will go far.
