Description
Posted Breed: Queensland Heeler / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed. Apprx 6-7 year old White Knight lived with a group of 15 other dogs in the desert for several years after their owner died. A good samaritan visited the pack several times a week to make sure they had food, water, and shelter, and little by little White Knight and a few others learned to trust him. During the summer of 2021, we all hatched a plan to get White Knight, his buddy Old Man, and Persephone out of there. Since then, White Knight and Old Man have been living with trainer Doug Price to learn how to relax, enjoy life, and trust humans. They will always be a bit shy, but White Knight has shown so much progress! And he loves to play with other dogs, even though he shakes a bit at first (see his videos). So we are hoping to find White Knight a home! Someone with love, time and patience to give him to allow him to settle in at his own pace. Adopting White Knight will also open up room to help another desert dog, so please consider adopting this special guy! His details: •Age approx 6-7 • Aussie shepard mix • Loves dogs of all sizes, prefers more submissive, but confident dogs. Will do best with 1 or more dogs • crate trained, not house trained • tolerates being on leash • nervous around people, likes having his ears scratched, has never shown aggression. He will let my 4 yo granddaughter pet him. • he wants to trust people and does have a happy side, especially at feeding times.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Cattledog Shepherd is a hybrid breed that combines the working heritage of the Australian Cattle Dog with the protective instincts of the German Shepherd. Originating as a purposeful cross to create a versatile companion, this mix typically grows into a medium-to-large dog with a muscular build, upright ears, and a dense double coat that may feature blue, tan, or sable markings. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, they are highly trainable but require consistent guidance and plenty of mental stimulation. Their energy level is high, making them best suited for active families with space to exercise, rather than apartment living. With proper socialization, they can be affectionate and protective household members, though they may be reserved with strangers. Health considerations include potential issues such as hip dysplasia and joint problems, so regular veterinary care and an active lifestyle are important for maintaining their well-being.
