Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Pembroke, MA Looking for a fun herdy mutt with a little spice? Check out Zero and her sisters Sparky and Scraps! These three girls came into rescue without either parent, but reportedly mom is an ACD and dad is an Australian Shepherd. I suspect there may be some other breeds thrown into their mix as well, but they do certainly have herding tendencies! Born around the beginning of Oct, they have a lot of growing to do but seem to be on the smaller side; I anticipate they will end up in the 30-40lb range as adults. They have been your typical mouthy and active herdy pups, and are seeking homes that will help them lead happy and fulfilled lives! The pups have had lots of exposure to new dogs, and each would be fine either solo or in a multi-dog home. They have not met cats and may need to learn not to chase them, but are smart enough that they should be fine with proper integration and structure. They will do best with children 8+ provided the home is dog-savvy with herder experience: they have sharp puppy teeth and can be tenacious little ankle biters! They are working on housetraining, crating, and foundational skills; as puppies, their adoptive families will need to continue this training. They are microchipped and up to date on monthly preventatives/deworming, have age-appropriate vaccinations, and are being adopted out on spay contracts to allow their puppy bodies and minds more time to develop. The puppies are available to separate homes, and must meet their potential families prior to adoption in order to help ensure a great match.

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.
