Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Location: Reinholds, PA Hello, my name is Lincoln, but they call me Link for short. I am a very playful and energetic cattle dog puppy who is approximately 5 months old. I came from Georgia where a family had too many dogs and they reached out to the rescue for help. My foster mama saw me and thought I was cute, so now I am in PA and boy is it cold, but I do love running around in this snow! I love to play with my foster sister who is a JRT, see me on the chair with her in the pictures? I also try to get my very old foster sister who is a cattle dog to play, but she doesn't like it so usually I just walk away, but sometimes I will bark at her to tell her how upsetting it is that she won't play with me. Anyway, enough about that old grump. I live with 2 human kids, and I am starting to chase them when they run (I think they need to be herded). I like to fetch and play tug with toys. I would love to go to a home where my people take me to training class, exercise me regularly, and engage with me mentally as well. Link's foster mom here: Link is wicked smart, energetic, and a typical cattle dog puppy. He is starting to learn that people are not chew toys and is progressing with potty training with a schedule. He does sleep through the night in the bed. The crate is not his favorite place, but he will go in with high-value treats tossed in. The longest he has been crated is 4 hours and if you want to adopt him you need to have a solid plan in place if you work outside of the home. He needs structure and may be a dog sport candidate as he is very handler focused and biddable (for a puppy). He knows the following commands: sit, down, come, go potty, drop it, and touch. He is fairly solid with all of them. He is up to date with vaccines and will be adopted out with a neuter contract. He is being fostered in Reinholds, PA.

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.
