Finn

You got it! Here's the puppy with the orange collar, and he's a boy: Puppy with the Orange Collar: "Finn" Personality Finn is a total sweetheart, brimming with affection and a desire to please. He's incredibly gentle and patient, making him a wonderful companion for families with children. He's not as outgoing as Rusty, preferring to observe new situations before diving in, but once he warms up, he's a cuddly and devoted friend. He's got a slightly sensitive nature, responding best to gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement. He’s the kind of puppy who will lay his head on your lap while you work, always wanting to be close. Trainability Finn is a dream to train. His eagerness to please and gentle nature make him incredibly receptive to commands. He's quick to pick up new tricks and thrives on positive reinforcement, especially praise and treats. He'll excel in obedience training and would likely enjoy activities like rally or therapy work, where his gentle temperament can shine. Early socialization is still important to build his confidence, but he's generally less prone to the independent streaks that can make training more challenging. Care Needs Finn's care needs are relatively moderate. He'll still require daily exercise to stay happy and healthy, but he might be content with slightly less intense activities than Rusty. A couple of brisk walks, some playtime in the yard, and perhaps a short hike will keep him satisfied. He'll also appreciate having some mental stimulation, such as puzzle toys or short training sessions. Like all Australian Shepherds, he'll need regular brushing to maintain his coat, and early socialization to ensure he's comfortable and confident in a variety of situations. He'd thrive in a loving home where his gentle nature is appreciated and where he receives consistent positive reinforcement. Ready for the next puppy, perhaps the one with the yellow collar?
