Cali (ADOPTED!) is approximately 14 weeks old and weighs 11 lbs. She is the one with the little spot on her forehead. Although she looks to be all Border collie, her mother is a classic blue merle heeler. Cali is a playful, confident and extremely bright girl. She is the one often trying to engage the others to play, and is the brave one. Like the other puppies, she loves being held.
When their foster mom is preparing their food, Cali will sit quietly, watching, and waiting to be fed. After they eat, and get a bit of playing out of their systems, all the pups in this litter show a calm nature, much like their cattle dog mother. She is very responsive to people. Cali is learning 'sit,' 'come,' and is being house trained, to do her business outside - or on puppy pads.
