Description
Dog Breed: Sheep Dog / Poodle (Standard) (medium coat). Hi, I’m Bruce! I’m a sweet and loving 4.5-year-old Sheepdog-Doodle mix. I can be a little nervous around new people and might bark at first, but I warm up quickly and will soon be begging for pets and scratches. I love school-aged kids, and while my foster mom isn’t sure if I’ve met babies or toddlers yet, she thinks I would do well with them. I’m a big boy, but I’m a lap dog at heart and will snuggle up next to you—or even try to sit in your lap—wherever you are. I’ll follow you around the house and be your best buddy. I am very smart and have been working on new skills, though I still need some time to learn things like not barking at passing cars. I love playing with other dogs and would do best in a home with a fence where I can run free, though I also do great on a tie-out. I am potty trained, but I haven't learned how to signal when I need to go outside yet. I’ve only had one accident when I wasn't let out for a long time. I sleep well in my crate and have never had an accident there; I’m also well-behaved in my crate while my foster mom is at work. I enjoy car rides and walks, though I tend to pull on the leash when I get excited, so I’ll need a little more training there. I love playing with toys and chewing on bully sticks. Because I have a poodle-type coat, I will need professional nail trims and regular grooming to prevent matting and keep me looking my best. I’m looking for a forever home with lots of love to give! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $550.00

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.
