Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Adoption Fee: 620. Incoming Heartthrob Alert: Meet Merle the Blue Heeler Pup! Merle isn’t just a name — it’s a vibe. This 8-week-old cattle dog cutie is a certified blue heeler baby with big eyes, big ears, and even bigger potential. He’s the kind of pup who’ll grow up to be loyal, whip-smart, and just the right amount of trouble (the fun kind, of course). Merle is making his debut at our vet in Riverview, and we’re on the lookout for the perfect pre-adoptive home or a loving foster to help him kick off his new chapter. Pre-adopters get first priority! Keep in mind: He’ll need to return to our vet (Riverview, Sarasota, or St. Pete) at least twice more for boosters, plus a third visit for neuter — so we recommend being within 1.5 to 2 hours of one of those areas. If you’ve got an open heart, a love for herding dog energy, and maybe a pair of boots for the aesthetic, Merle’s ready to trot right into your life.

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.
