Little Lucy Loo~ Adopted!

Lucy is a six-pound, four year old female purebred toy Australian Shepherd (*whew* what a mouthful) and a little ball of love and energy. She loves to sit on the bed like a queen overlooking her kingdom and will jump at the chance to go outside. When outside, this little girl loves to run and is a serious athlete. With her intelligence, speed and willingness to please, she can be molded into the perfect dog for any occasion. This lovely little lady would be best for a small dog pack, since she tends to end up under larger dogs’ feet. She loves having company but is still learning how to play. She is a vocal little girl who loves to tell her owners how much she loves them, but also when she wants to snuggle.

She is very good in a crate and will use a puppy pad if available to her. Lucy needs a stable pack to keep her grounded and needs a role model or two to show her the ropes.

She had a bad habit, based out of fear, to bite stranger’s heels. It has taken us several months to break her habit, which she can pick up again easily if placed in the wrong home. She is best without small children since she would be too tempted to bite their little feet. While we understand that the people who bred her were intending to make a perfect designer breed, they created a pocket Aussie with relentless herding instincts. Adopting Lucy will require patience on everyone’s part, especially guests, it will take her time to adjust to every new person she meets.  We welcome Little Lucy into the nub-club!

Update: Little Lucy Lou has been adopted by Elisha and Ashley of Orlando!
