Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Albany, NY Meet Hardy! Hardy is a three-year-old cattle dog mix with a heart of gold. For a younger male cattle dog, he's refreshingly laid-back. He's equally happy to go on an adventure or curl up for a couch session. He's food motivated and a quick learner, which makes training fun and rewarding. Hardy has been working hard on his manners and leash training and is making great progress every day. He aims to please! While Hardy is a bit of a ladies' man, he can be a little shy with new men at first. He warms up to men fairly quickly, however, with patient and gentle introductions. He's happily navigated breweries, farmers markets, and city streets and won over plenty of new friends along the way. He's currently fostering alongside some grumpy older girl dogs and is learning to respect their social cues. He shows some resource guarding around high-value treats and toys, but shares meals and pig ears with his foster siblings without any fuss. Hardy is still getting the hang of crate training. He'd always prefer to be with his person, but he's learning to settle in and relax and getting better with time. Hardy would thrive in a breed-savvy home without young children or cats. If you're looking for a loyal, snuggly, adventure-ready companion who's still growing into his best self, Hardy might just be your guy. Hardy is neutered and up to date on all shots and preventatives. Hardy is neutered and up to date on all shots and preventatives. He is fostering with two resident dogs in Albany, NY.

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.
