Yuki is a truly special little cattle dog with a heart full of love and a mind that’s already impressively sharp. She is deaf, but don’t let that fool you, this clever girl is a quick learner who thrives on praise, food motivation, and visual cues from the world around her.
 
She’s already responding beautifully to training, has picked up a couple of hand signals, and is showing promising recall. Yuki takes her confidence from people and dogs nearby and is a very sound sleeper once she feels safe and settled.
 
Loyal to her home and “her person”, Yuki has a protective streak and will alert bark to let you know something’s happening around the house (even if she can’t hear it herself). She’s mostly house trained, working on lead skills, and navigating typical puppy curiosity and chewing.
 
At heart, Yuki is an affectionate shadow dog. She just wants to be close to her humans, whether that’s curled up on your lap, snoozing at your feet, or tucked into bed with you. Connection is everything to her.
 
With other dogs, Yuki can be a little wary at first, especially in close or unfamiliar settings, but she warms up well in open spaces. She would be best suited as an only dog, or with a calm, confident dog of equal or larger size who doesn’t react, can set clear boundaries, and enjoys the occasional zoomies.
 
Yuki finds young children under 10 overwhelming and unpredictable, which can cause her anxiety, so she’s looking for a calm, adult home where she can feel secure and understood.
 
With patience, consistency, and a family willing to learn her language, Yuki will grow into an incredibly loyal, affectionate, and deeply bonded companion. 💗
 
🐾 DISCLAIMER 🐾
 
At CAA we provide required vet work for puppies including the first 3 x monthly vaccinations and desexing at 6 months. This work needs to be done at our preferred vets in Rockhampton or Yeppoon, therefore we are only able to adopt our puppies to persons living in the local area or who visit the area regularly enough to commit to these appointments. All current pets should be desexed and vaccinated.
 
The adoption fee for each puppy is $350 and includes desexing, microchipping, vaccinations, flea and intestinal worm treatments. To express interest in adopting one of our puppies, please fill in the online enquiry form located here - http://www.capricornanimalaid.org.au/adopt-a-dog-form
