True to her name, Ricochet is a ball of energy who bounces through life with unstoppable enthusiasm. This tough little girl has already beaten parvo--proving she's not only resilient, but full of fight and spirit. Ricochet is believed to be a high-content cattle dog mix, and she absolutely lives up to it. She is an above average puppy--she's incredibly smart, driven, and always looking for her next task. Whether it's chasing a ball, learning new commands, or exploring the world around her, Ricochet thrives when she has a purpose. This precious girl will need an active, committed home that understands working breeds. Think agility, advanced training, hiking, or even a job--because Ricochet isn't here for a couch potato lifestyle. Without proper outlets, she'll happily create her own entertainment (and you may not love some of her ideas)..LOL What will she give you in return? Unmatched loyalty, brilliance, and a bond like no other. She's the kind of dog that will excel in the right hands and become something truly special. If you're looking for a high-drive partner and are ready to invest the time, training, and energy she deserves, Ricochet is ready to launch straight into your life.
