BERGAMOT - AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Bergamot Pembroke, MA Spring is here and some fresh little wildflowers have popped up! Bergamot has been blossoming in foster and is ready to be transplanted into his adoptive home. Bergamot is a super sweet and sensitive little man, and will make a great companion for the right adopter. He enjoys playing and training with his human, but is also good at finding his own fun if you're nearby working on something else. While he can be a bit cautious in new situations he warms up fast - just needs a chance to gather some information on his own terms first. With continued careful exposure to keep bolstering his confidence he'll grow into a great doggo! Mom was reportedly an ACD, but with neither parent around we can't know for sure what mix he may be. I'd guess ACD and some bully breeds (among others, most likely). He and his siblings are solid little puppers, and I estimate they will be around 40-50lbs as adults. Their birthday is likely around the beginning of March, and at time of writing Bee is around 13wks and 16lbs. The pups have lots of exposure to new dogs, but will need some guidance as they are typical pestery puppies towards the older dogs here. While they have not met cats I anticipate they will be fine with proper integration and training. Bee has been a little nervous with young kids running around and will take space or seek out an adult for help, so a home with no kids or only 1-2 older dog-savvy kids would be best at this time. Bergamot has not exhibited the mouthiness or herding instinct typical of heelers, and I anticipate he will be medium energy for his suspected mix. The pups are working on housetraining, crating, and foundational skills; as puppies, their adoptive families will need to continue this training. They are microchipped and up to date on monthly preventatives/deworming, have age-appropriate vaccinations, and are being adopted out on spay/neuter contracts to allow their puppy bodies and minds more time to develop. The puppies are available to separate homes, and must meet their potential families prior to adoption in order to help ensure a great match.
