Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Location: ME Kansas (aka Chubbs) is a most handsome neutered male cattle dog looking to find his forever home. His estimated age is around 2. He is up to date on veterinary care and preventatives. He is house trained- having never had an accident in my care. He is not a fan of crates and does well being left loose confined to a room instead. If given the opportunity he will counter surf or check out the trash cans, typical cattle dog behavior, so you must be smarter than he is. He was a stray so we do not have a background on this dog but he is strong and will require an adopter with prior herding breed experience. He is opinionated and not afraid to let his opinion be known. For that reason I do not think he will do well in a home with children. He gets along very well with my resident female cattle dog but has shown reactivity in public around strange dogs, joggers, and bikes. Continued training will be necessary to help him be his best self. He does enjoy outings but is not a great traveler. He has a great deal of anxiety in the car when it is moving, so that can be a consideration if you like to travel a lot with your dog. His ideal home would have a fenced in area where he can run and chase a ball. He has a low food drive, and a low-moderate toy drive. He’s non destructive of household items and doesn’t destroy stuffed toys. He does enjoy a good yak chew, bully stick, or benebone. He is a lower energy requirement type and does not need hours of stimulation to be livable. He just needs an adopter that will be firm and fair with him. He will require in person meeting and no long distance adoption.

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.
