4 year old spayed black tri female
Sire: Sutter      Dam: Loretta

Coco has become available.  Her problem is that she doesn't do well with small kids and they have a toddler in the household.   Please see the comments and pictures from her owner below.  Please contact Diana for information about her at (619)403-1723.  She is located in Orange County.


"She has very strong foundational training, is an eager and biddable partner, super friendly with adults, no separation anxiety, has an off switch and will sleep in as late as you like, loves fetch and her walks, and heels on left or right side on command (very proud of that one). I have compared her to other Aussies in our area and feel she responds very well compared to many of them. She has a lot of beautiful qualities - BUT we cannot risk the safety of our growing son nor put her in a position where management could fail, and she ends up biting a child. She still receives daily walks, training, and play with bigger adventures throughout the week and has her own space away from baby, but has been exhibiting new stress behaviors - most notably licking herself compulsively.
She sees the vet regularly, is updated with vaccines and in good health, gets bi-annual dental cleanings/has great teeth, is brushed and bathed regularly and used to high velocity dryers. She’s spayed (which we delayed until maturity) and chipped. She weighs 54lbs."
