Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Albany, NY Meet Dewey — the 9 month old adventure pup! Hi! I’m Dewey — about 48 pounds of pure puppy charm and curiosity. I’m still figuring out this big, exciting world, so sometimes I bark at new things . The hair dryer could damage mom’s hair after all. And the printer is a waste of paper and ink. Someone has to alert mom to these things . W ith training, I’m getting braver every day. I even visit Home Depot and Tractor Supply like a total pro now, and I do great meeting new people — even the tiny humans. I’ll be honest: I do pull on leash. I’m working on it. I’ve also met goats, horses, and had a couple of dog meet and greets, so I’m getting pretty worldly for a youngster. I’m crate trained, potty trained, and I sleep through the night like a champ. I know sit, down, wait, and touch. And guess what? I’m learning scent work — and apparently my nose is kind of amazing. My foster mom made this video about me . youtube/shorts/hgGLqbFRFqk About Dewey Potty trained , with zoomies + gentle hand mouthing as his “I gotta go!” signal • Smart, eager to learn, and very treat motivated Scent trained — loves search games indoors and outside • Quiet boy unless someone is at the door or on the property • Snow lover who tunnels through it like a goofy little otter • Needs slow dog introductions ; could live with a calm dog or thrive as an only pet • Needs a medium fenced yard , ideally in a quieter, rural setting • Leash Reactive at the vet around other dogs, but great with staff • Best with an owner committed to continued training • Good with kids , but will absolutely eat their toys • Must be crated when unattended ; needs a durable bed (K9 Ballistics style) • Managed introductions required — not a fan of lots of in and out visitors • Once he settles, he’ll be your absolute BEST friend Dewey is up to date on vaccinations and is neutered.

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.
