Clayton, the Dog of the Day
Name: Clayton
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Cattle Dog
Home: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
 
   Clayton is our purebred red Australian Cattle Dog. He is the perfect example of the breed. Active, stubborn, affectionate, protective and loves to herd anything that moves. His favorite activity is swimming. He will spend hours in and around the pool. As of now, Clayton is learning agility and obedience. We are going to enroll him in Dockdiving and Rally soon. He has earned his AKC Star Certfication. Not bad for a stubborn dog!

    Clayton is almost constantly moving. He will rest only for very short periods of time. He likes to see what is going on in and around the home. His favorite game is to fetch a toy from the swimming pool. He will jump in as often as you throw something in for him. He will obey commands but seems to think about whether it's a good thing to do immediately or in a little while. He is very food motivated though, so a favorite treat will have him working like a pro. He is always watching the house and property, barking a warning to anybody that comes around. Even when going for a walk, he will focus on someone that seems to be getting too close. He loves nothing more than to sit on the lap of somebody he knows. He thinks he's a four pound lap dog... not a 47-pound bundle of muscle. He brings us endless joy and we look forward to many years of his endless energy!
