Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Patch is a busy boy with a zest for life! He thrives on both mental stimulation and regular exercise, and he absolutely loves getting out for adventures with his people. Patch has been on many Miles & Mutts outings and truly enjoys running alongside his humansâhis current record is an impressive 4 miles! While Patch is an active dog, heâs not overwhelming like you might expect. He redirects easily, enjoys attention, and is just as happy to pause for some affection and pets. Heâs also a very smart boy who loves to learn. During training, Patch is attentive, eager, and always waiting for his next cue. He currently knows sit, lay down, and touch, and is working on roll over too! With his intelligence and enthusiasm, Patch could easily thrive in activities like agility or advanced training. Patch appears to be potty trained and walks nicely on leash. Heâs also very coordinated on walks and seems to have mastered the art of gracefully untangling himself when needed! This happy guy has loved everyone heâs met so far and doesnât appear to have a shy bone in his bodyâheâs all wiggles and friendliness. Patch has done well meeting children, though his enthusiasm may be a little much for kids who are unfamiliar with dogs. He also has a consistently friendly demeanor when seeing other dogs and has even worked closely alongside other dogs during training classes. If needed, weâre happy to provide a dog meet-and-greet prior to adoption. Patch is full of life and ready to find an owner who shares his adventurous spirit and love for activity!

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.
