Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (medium coat). Goose is a classic Cattle Dog â smart, intense, and ready to work. Heâs looking for a home with room to roam, ideally in a rural setting where he can stay busy and have a job to do. Like many in his breed, Goose is particular about who he lets into his circle, but once you're in, youâve got a loyal companion for life. Goose has strong herding instincts and can be quite nippy, especially when heâs trying to âmanageâ his people. Because of this, heâs not a fit for homes with children. Heâs done well with calm, respectful dogs and may do best with a similar canine companion. Weâre not sure how he feels about cats. And one of Gooseâs absolute favorite things? Mud. His dream home would include a good-sized yard and a mud pit â his personal spa and playground. Goose is best suited for someone with herding breed experience who can give him structure, purpose, and space. If youâve got the land, the patience, and maybe a nice mud puddle or two, Goose just might be your perfect working buddy. Goose is available by appointment only, and only with select staff members, please CALL the shelter to set up a time to meet Goose. ***Goose will go home with a FREE adoption success kit (includes a crate, collar, leash, and other goodies)!!!***

Breed overview

Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
