DALLAS

Dallas is an energetic, people-loving cattle dog who’s always ready to say hello. In the yard, Dallas shows a calmer side, he enjoys taking his time to sniff and explore, checking in often for pets and attention. Toys don’t seem to be his main focus; he’d much rather hang out with his person. He’s a smart boy who already knows several commands, including “sit,” “down,” and “roll over,” and he may know “paw” as well. Dallas is highly motivated by affection and will happily work for praise and attention. When he does take treats, he’s gentle and polite. Dallas has done well meeting new people, though he can be a little reserved at first before warming up. He has also enjoyed playing with another dog, jumping right into play and taking breaks appropriately. Because he can be a bit enthusiastic and is still working on his manners, he would do best with an experienced owner who can provide structure, training, and plenty of outlets for his energy and herding instincts.
