Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Meet Abigail—affectionately known as Abby! Abby is believed to be a Heeler Pit mix and weighs just under 50 lbs, making her a wonderful medium-sized companion. She has a mostly white coat with striking black splotches on her face that highlight her sweet expression. Abby can be shy around new people at first, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her true personality shines. She becomes an affectionate, playful dog who loves calm pets, cuddles, and quality time with her people. She walks comfortably on a leash and would thrive in a home with a yard where she can run, explore, and burn off some energy. As a Heeler mix, Abby will do best in a home that can provide both physical exercise and mental enrichment. Regular walks, training sessions, and puzzle toys will help keep her happy, confident, and engaged. At this time, Abby needs to be the only dog in the home, though she will be retested with other dogs in the coming weeks as she continues to settle in. She will also need formal cat testing to determine her compatibility with feline friends. Adoption Fee: $250 To apply: fcrspca/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.
