Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn't always workl Meet Sophie the Pocket Heeler! This gorgeous, petite girl is 2 years old and weighs just 16 lbs—truly a cattle dog in a Chihuahua's body! Don't let Sophie's tiny frame fool you, though—she's a cattle dog through and through. Someone forgot to tell her she's small, and she'll play and roughhouse with dogs three times her size without hesitation. Sophie loves every person she's met so far and is both affectionate and velcro-like with her humans. She simply loves to be held and sit on your lap. Sophie has medium energy and enjoys daily hikes, chewing on Nylabones, and munching on carrots. Sophie gets along well with her foster siblings, though she seems to prefer other female dogs. She's absolutely obsessed with her bigger foster sister and loves to chase, wrestle and play bitey-face with her 24/7. Sophie is house and crate trained, uses the doggie door, and walks well on leash. After a day full of adventures, her favorite activity is snuggling with her foster dad on the sofa in the evening, followed by a night of sleep lying almost on top of him. Sophie has barked at cats but hasn't shown aggression toward them. She does have some leash reactivity during walks but responds well to redirection training. Sophie will thrive best with a confident, dog-experienced person who can set clear boundaries. She is spayed, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations and preventatives. Sophie is being fostered in Adamstown, MD. Contact her foster dad: kirkdrueygmail .youtube/shorts/ULaGEyQTTb0 Complete an Application .acdra/adoption-application

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.
