I have an Austrailian cattledog that needs opportunities to work and play. She is energetic, smart, loving, and loyal. We got her to be a companion to our older dog about 5 years ago. Now that our older dog is gone plus we have had two children in the past 4 years, we are limited with the attention and care we can give Rosie. She deserves much more than what we are able to give her at this time in our life.
