Description
Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (long coat). Whiskey is a smart, spunky, and sweet young cattle dog mix who is learning confidence and social skills after an early puppyhood without many opportunities to develop either. She is now over a year old and is living with a foster family that has other dogs and cats. She worked with a trainer for several months to learn leash skills, become more confident in new situations, and enjoy life to the fullest. She is now crate trained, potty trained; knows sit, down, and stay; has a good recall and pretty decent leash manners; and showed some aptitude for scent work. Whiskey is still building confidence and needs a loving but firm handler who willing to continue working with her. We offer four free training sessions to local adopters with the trainer who knows her. Whiskey is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She will reward the right owner with her trust and a lifetime of loyalty.

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.
