A spin-off from the rescue temperament test thread.
We've all seen the petfinder entries where dogs are described in a good light, but also mentioning issues and who would be best to adopt the dog.
Write a description of your dog, like one might find on petfinder or on another rescue site. If your dog was up for adoption, what would you write to describe them?
Leo
If you are looking for a playful, active, do-anything dog, look no further! Leo is a 1 1/2 border collie/australian cattle dog mix. He is food and toy motivated, loves to play any game, but has an awesome off-switch in the house. Leo is looking for an active person or family, who will exercise him and keep him engaged. He loves to learn and picks up new commands extremely quickly. He would be a great dog for almost any dog sport. Leo loves to chase and bring back both balls and Frisbees. He will snatch them right out of the air!
Leo is very dog-friendly and even plays nicely with dog-savvy cats indoors (he wants to chase them outdoors). He does not resource guard, chew, counter surf or destroy things, and is extremely quiet, particularly indoors. Leo does still pull on leash and is a bit leash reactive, in that he will bark and pull towards other dogs (but is fine on greeting them). Leo is very friendly with all people and strangers, but would do best with either an adult or a family with older children, as young children do make him feel a bit nervous. He tries to stay out of their way.
