Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Pembroke, MA Legolas “Home is behind, the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread." Legolas has her elf eyes peeled for the right family to explore the world with! She and her littermates have been your typical mouthy and active pups, and won't be content with the quiet life of a hobbit: they are seeking homes that will help them lead adventurous and fulfilled lives. Legolas has been one of the more independent puppies: she will play with littermates and interact with me when I seek her out or get her one on one, but more often than not she is happy to self entertain. A home looking to build a strong bond will bring out the best in her: take the time to forge a solid relationship and she'll be your ride or die! The Fellowship were born on 2/9/26 and have been raised in foster with their momma Shire, a 40lb ACD. She has been a friendly girl and has done a great job caring for her little Shirelings! Embark results show Shire is full ACD, and that the sire was a predominantly great pyrenees, husky, and labrador mix. Though those results threw me for a bit of a loop, the pups all have a similar look to one another so I feel it is unlikely there were multiple sires (but that's always a possibility). They have been raised with Puppy Culture to the best of my ability, and I have been establishing foundational skills here including crate exposure and a verbal marker system for training. Of course, as puppies they will need continued training for all the basics. They have all been doing well with exposure to new objects, textures, environments, sounds, and people. Pups are getting positive exposure to adult dogs, and while Legolas does not require a home with another dog, any other dogs in the home should be confident and stable to give her a good role model. She should be fine around cats with proper integration, and will likely do best in a home without young children. The pups of the Fellowship have been vet checked, microchipped, are up to date on deworming, and have age-appropriate vaccinations. They are being adopted out on spay/neuter contracts to allow their puppy bodies and minds more time to develop. Please keep your location in mind when applying: the pups must meet their potential families here in person to help ensure a great match!

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.
