What a beautiful boy! Brenner is a 1 to 1.5 yr. old neutered Male Australian Shepherd mix. He is 45-50 lbs., House trained, Current on all vaccinations.
He has a super soft coat! People love to touch him and he loves to be touched - especially belly rubs. He is patient when being groomed.
Brenner gets along with other dogs he is acquainted with but may be leary of dogs he has not met. He has not been around cats at this point.
Brenner does have a limitation in that he is hard of hearing or deaf. He has been trained in ASL signs for sit , stay, come and look... He is very bright and a quick learner... we are confident vibration collar training would be a success with him. He is very visual and loves to see you at all times.
Brenner is great with kids but should be in a home with kids 10 and up, because his herding instinct is activated by movement and he jumps up at the elbows those he deems his equals or younger when outside and in play. Deaf dogs also have a harder time with children because they cant always hear them coming and so are more apt to be startled.
Brenner is such a love bug! He enjoys humans very much and loves to sit up against you as much as he can. He also enjoys car rides, chewing kong toys, fetching a ball and having you chase him in play. He is a happy guy who could bring a lot of joy into your heart.
