Kava is a neutered 2.5 year old black tri male Aussie. Knows basic commands very well (sit, down, wait, off, leave it, etc). We're willing to help with shipping costs. In addition to that, he weighs somewhere in the 60-65 pound range. He needs to lose maybe 3 or 4 pounds due to us not being able to run him as well as he needs and used to be. Other commands he knows, watch me, mine, touch, spin (kind of a modified tail chase), shake, speak, where's *insert name of person or toy*.

He's an AMAZING retriever. Can play fetch for hours if you let him. He lovesloveslovesloves to swim and would do that for hours as well if he were allowed.

 

He has dog and puppy aggression that needs to be addressed, and, for all of the effort I've put into it, I have two young children at home and life just isn't allowing me the time that he really NEEDS in order to address this issue. I will answer any questions anyone might have.

I've been working with Kava, but he is not living a good life as he's not getting exercised away from my house anymore. He has been medically evaluated and nothing abnormal was found.

I DO NOT THINK THIS DOG NEEDS TO BE PUT TO SLEEP, but I have NO other options. I've contacted in Alaska, the humane society, Aussie rescue, I've put the word out with several people in the breed and other people around town. I've had one inquiry that didn't pan out.  I cannot keep him indefinitely.
