Lincoln

Lincoln, also known as Link, is a very playful and energetic 5-month-old Australian Cattle Dog puppy with a heart full of joy. He loves to engage in games of fetch and tug, and his intelligence shines through as he quickly learns new commands like sit, down, come, go potty, drop it, and touch. He enjoys the company of other dogs, especially his foster sister, and is beginning to understand appropriate play boundaries. Lincoln is a smart, biddable boy who is making great progress with his potty training and sleeps soundly through the night.

As a typical Australian Cattle Dog, Lincoln possesses high intelligence, incredible energy, and a strong herding instinct. These traits make him an excellent candidate for dog sports or advanced obedience training, as he is very handler-focused and eager to learn. His short coat requires minimal grooming, but his active nature means he needs significant daily exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Without proper outlets for his energy, he might try to herd running children or find other ways to entertain himself.

Lincoln is looking for an active home committed to continuing his training and providing ample opportunities for physical and mental engagement. He would flourish with a family who understands the needs of a working breed puppy and is prepared for regular exercise and structured activities. A home with older, dog-savvy children who can participate in his training, or another playful dog, would be ideal. If you work outside the home, a solid plan for his care, ensuring he isn't crated for extended periods, is essential for this smart and spirited pup.
