Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Gloucester Massachusetts Jax Male 6 months 35 lbs Micro chipped and up to date on age appropriate vaccinations. Looking for a new best friend? A ride or die dog? Jax will be your huckleberry! Or should I say " hucklebuckle " because he'll stick to your side like those brown burrs you pick up walking in the woods. This is a typical Cattle Dog trait. Jax is a sweet Cattle dog mix who is going to be a large dog. He is lean and lanky like a new born fawn. He was fostering with his littermate and since his brother has moved on Jax has become the perfect house guest. He can definitely be a goofball and will keep you entertained with his antics. Jax was quick to sound the alarm about Aliens in the yard (herding balls that thawed out from the snow banks) He bravely risked life and limb to sneak up and inspect the foreign objects, protecting me from harm. Jax found them to be no threat and actually really fun to play with. Oh and those ears! They're trying to stand up but that's just added charm. Jax sleeps on a dog bed beside me throughout the day, if I move Jax is right beside me. No resource guarding at all and gets along with my resident dog. Jax sleeps all night in his crate and will sit patiently and wait for his food to be placed on the floor. Jax keeps his crate very tidy. Jax is on the shy side but gains more confidence daily. Jax is a submissive pup and wants to play with everyone, dogs and humans though it takes a bit to warm up to new people but after he gets to know you, you will be greeted with his whole body wiggles. Jax knows some basic commands and is very treat motivated to learn more. Jax would probably be ok with a kitty if introduced slowly. Jax was curious about little humans (grandsons) and has grown fond of them, seeking affection and some play time. Jax needs a confident human(s) that can help him through some insecurities. Someone who is home more than not. Someone who is familiar with the breed and willing to reach out to a reward based trainer if needed. A quiet home with a yard and maybe a confident doggie sibling would be ideal for Jax. Jax will come with a spay/neuter contract. Meet and greets will be arranged after an application has been submitted acdra/adoption-application Questions and inquiries can be sent to his foster home at shelleynugentmsn You can see more photos and videos cattledogfostersinglostah on Facebook.

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.
