Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Cattle Dog mix, male Welcome Benito! Benito is a 2 year old, 34lb, cattle dog mix from Tulare. Here is what we know so far: In just a little over 24 hours, this sweet boy has already shown us what a gem he is. He’s a certified wiggle butt who loves human affection without being overly pushy. He’s the perfect balance of cuddly and respectful. He’s dog-social and enjoys canine company, but we think he’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as someone’s one and only bestie. Like many sensitive herding types, he can feel a little unsure about new things at first like getting into the car, crossing thresholds, or walking down hallways, but once he knows he’s safe, he settles in beautifully. The best part? He’s food-motivated and eager to try, which makes helping him build confidence a fun and rewarding journey. He’s already showing wonderful house manners: no accidents inside, happily goes in and out of his crate, and relaxes calmly when resting. While he’s by no means fully trained yet, he has such a naturally easygoing, well-mannered disposition that we know he’s going to thrive with a family committed to continuing his training and helping him grow into the very best boy we know he can be. Benito is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines. Located in Visalia, CA More photos and updates: .facebook/.cchdrescue/ search in posts and photo albums. Interested in Benito?

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.
