Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: ME Gremlin – Winner of the Cutest Puppy Contest! Gremlin is a 12 pound, 14 week old mostly Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler). He is an energetic puppy who loves to play with his sister, Ghost. Curious about EVERYTHING. He loves to run, wrestle and snuggle in a human lap. He is learning so much each day. He has already learned to sit for a treat and to come when called (usually). He is starting to get the concept of housebreaking but has a ways to go. He is curious about the cats but does not threaten them in any way. He has been to the dog park and did well with strange dogs. He is very comfortable with the crate, even putting himself to bed when he needs a nap. He sleeps all night with no messes in the crate. He has won over the hearts of both adults and children. He would be loyal to you until his dying day. Cattle dogs are high energy dogs who know they are equal members of the family. He would be a great running/hiking buddy. He would not be happy being left in a yard by himself. He was abandoned in Georgia and rescued on Halloween. He has had his first two distemper shots, his kennel cough vaccine and been dewormed. He and his sister are being fostered in Maine. They would love to stay together but do show independence and he would be fine without her. Contact cknightgmail.

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.
