Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Spade is our very first foster! We named her Spade because of the spade-shaped marking on her face, and it fits her perfectly. This 2 year old sweetheart was found as a stray and ended up at San Antonio Animal Care Services on the euthanasia list, but she was given a second chance and and she has truly made the most of it! She has such a fun, puppy-like personality. Spade is incredibly smart and picks up cues quickly. She is currently working on being fully house trained. She already knows several commands, including âsit,â âcome,â âlay down,â âstay,â and âgo outside.â She loves to learn and is eager to please. Sheâs playful but also knows when itâs time to chill. Our two big dogs (an English Setter and a Mini Newfie) sometimes have to babysit her and she LOVES being the little sister, trying to get them to play, but she listens when itâs time to settle down. She adores our Chihuahua and gets so excited to see him⦠even if she forgets heâs a little smaller than she is! Sheâll paw at other dogs to start play, but she adjusts so quickly. Spade would thrive with another playful dog or dogs who love to have fun. She loves Playing fetch Carrying around stuffed toys and playing with them by herself! Making dog friends Going on walks Chilling in the backyard Our favorite characteristic of her is her underbite smile. It is so cute!

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.
