About Big Bob

Big Bob, from the original DSDA Bluey Litter, is almost 4 years old and weighs in at 52 pounds of playful charm. Adopted as a puppy, he discovered that a household full of small children wasn’t his scene, so he's back to find a more fitting environment. If you’re seeking a quieter home, Big Bob could be your ideal companion. He enjoys leisurely walks and is calm around other dogs while on leash. Always ready for a game of fetch, he's a clever boy who knows several commands and has excellent manners. Like most cattle dogs, Bob is observant, loyal, and thrives on having his people around. Due to his herding instincts, a home without small children or male dogs is preferred. An older female dog might work, but Bob shines brightest as an only pet getting all the love. He does best with active owners and loves to have a secure fenced yard to play in. With a little exercise, a structured routine, and plenty of affection, he promises to be a loyal friend for years. Big Bob has been waiting patiently for his perfect family. Could you be the one? Click apply to start the adoption process.
