Barbie is a truly sweet and super playful free spirit, always ready for an adventure! Rescued over a year ago, she has blossomed into an energetic companion who thrives on interaction and fun. She loves toys and engaging in play sessions, making her an ideal friend for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. While she generally gets along well with other dogs, she sometimes needs gentle correction for mounting, indicating she would benefit from continued positive reinforcement training.
As an Australian Cattle Dog and Labrador Retriever mix, Barbie inherits a wonderful blend of intelligence, loyalty, and exuberance. Australian Cattle Dogs are known for their high energy, sharp minds, and strong herding instincts, while Labradors are famous for their friendly nature, trainability, and love for retrieving. This combination means Barbie is likely to be a highly intelligent and active dog who will excel with engaging activities that challenge both her body and mind. She has a short coat that requires low grooming, but expect moderate shedding.
Barbie is looking for a forever home with an active individual or family who can match her high energy drive. She would thrive in an environment where she receives plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent training. A home with a secure yard for playtime would be fantastic. If you're seeking a loyal, playful, and spirited companion to join you on hikes, runs, or daily adventures, Barbie might just be the perfect addition to your family!
