Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Location: CT If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn’t always work. Lovebug is truly the sweetest cattle dog we’ve ever come across. She’s never met a stranger and greets all humans big and small with a smiling face, wagging tail, and eager as can be to share her puppy kisses. She’s a bit over 1 year old, and perfectly sized at about 35 lbs, though with time and kibbles, she should fill out a bit more. This girl’s superpower is winning hearts, whether you’re on two legs or four. Her foster parents have exposed her to big dogs and small dogs alike, and she always makes friends. She has shown zero signs of resource guarding and happily shares toys and enjoys dental chews near her friends. She’s even won over the resident grump who will even share his toys which unheard of in the foster household. Lovebug is on the submissive side and after proper and gentle greetings will use her magic ability to get her new best friends to romp and play. She would make a wonderful addition to any existing furry family members or would be quite happy to soak up all the attention for herself. Speaking of, she lives for your attention and pets. Something of a Velcro pup, she’d much rather be attached to your hip than left behind. And apologies to any, “No dogs on the couch” families, but that just won’t work for this girl as she really is just a love machine (and doesn’t wanna work for nobody but you). And with her affinity for her humans, she has excellent recall (just give a whistle and she’ll come bounding back with a smile.) Early on she has shown an affinity for shoes when left to her own devices, but with intervention and given healthy substitutes (bones, toys) has been quick to drop unwanted behavior. On the cattle dog crazy scale, she’s a very moderate and manageable 5 or 6. She does require a daily dose of zoomie release but knows how to settle down for some quality snuggle time in front of the tube. She’s very adventurous and adaptable and loves to run, swim, walk, or play with another dog, so she’ll be happy to get the energy out during whatever activity you choose. She hardly ever barks, is quiet as a mouse in her crate, rides well in a car and is a quick study at training. She is great with kids, and while not officially cat tested her foster family believes that would be fine as she doesn’t bother the chickens and other critters she’s met. Lovebug is up to date on all vaccines, spayed, chipped, and ready to be an incredibly loving addition to one lucky family. Lovebug is being fostered in Southbury, CT.

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.
