Description
Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 225. Chili is 2 years old. Her Embark DNA swab is pending. I don't believe she had lived inside prior to coming to rescue. Along with that, she didn't know what a kennel was, wasn't potty trained, and didn't know how to interact appropriately with dogs. She did come LOVING humans. Chili didn't get along with her first fosters dogs, so she came to us since we can separate temporarily. Here's the thing, she hated segregation. She wanted to be with the other dogs and didn't have the typical dog aggressive attitude I've dealt with before. So we started working. Muzzle training was first. Thankfully she was already fabulous on a leash. She has also figured out relaxing and down time. Then we started playing one on one with the other dogs with a muzzle on and leashed so when she got overstimulated we could separate. The thing is she was so excited to be around the other dogs she would get so excited for the muzzle! Gradually we did more and more. Now she is integrated with everyone, but she does have guarding behaviors, so we are working on "making good decisions." She was not potty trained so we have used potty pads by the door which she figured out right away. Gradually she has figured out potty training. She uses the door bell or barks at night if she needs to go out. She still doesn't like the kennel, so we have a heavy duty kennel that she's in during the day when I am out of the house. She's gradually getting more used to it, but will still avoid coming inside if she knows she is going in the kennel. Chili would do fine as an only dog with walks, or with experienced dog parents who are willing to slowly integrate (she took a full month to feel comfortable here). Fostering to adopt is absolutely an option! If you have any questions please reach out! To apply online please visit k911foundation/adopt

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.
