About Zara

Zara is a 3-5 year old spayed female Australian Cattle Dog, weighing around 36 lbs, though she should ideally be at 40 lbs. She maintains excellent manners, being completely house trained and quietly sleeps in her crate when needed. Although she gets along with other dogs, she's not keen on playtime and can be a bit spicy around food, so she would thrive best as the only dog in the home. Zara adapts well to farm life and is perfectly fine with cats. Though she interacts well with my grandkids, visiting children may not receive her best side, typical of stock dogs. She enjoys brief games of fetch, always alert and serious, making her a fantastic guard dog. Zara is not prone to excessive barking but will alert appropriately, ensuring your home feels secure. She is truly a delightful companion, ready to embark on new adventures with you!
