Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Cattle Dog, male 2 years old Meet Rusty, a real deal red heeler from SLO County Animal Services. Rusty had been at the shelter for a while. He was a staff and volunteer favorite. The shelter is no place for a dog, let alone a sensitive heeler. He was struggling, so we were asked by the shelter if we could give him a soft place to land until forever could be found. Rusty is a stunner! He’s about 2 years old and 50 lbs. A stocky old school heeler, very likely pure bred with eyes and a heart of gold. Rusty deserves the world…and some love and consistency. He is: housebroken dog social (would love a buddy, but he's cool as an only) cat-friendly (wants to play) Rusty takes a minute to warm up to new folks, but once he does he’ll be your most loving and loyal companion Rusty is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines. Located in Templeton, CA. More photos and updates: .facebook/media/set/?set=a.1457519478543035&type=3 Interested in Rusty?

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.
