Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Cattle dog mix, male Zen (formerly Radar) is back in rescue, no fault of his own. Life happens and once a CCHDR dog always a CCHDR dog. Zen is a pint sized, low riding, rodeo clown looking for a breed-savvy, active, and engaged forever home. True to his breed, this dude LOVES to work. He is happiest in a training forward, structured environment along with another playful canine companion or two. He’s a dog’s dog. He is loyal, protective, and incredibly snuggly with his people. He does take a minute to warm up to new folks. He’s a celebrity around town and has amassed somewhat of a cult following - he’s that much of a character. Zen has grown so much since he arrived in rescue back in August 2025. His person put in a ton of training hours to get him dialed in on basic obedience, place work, ecollar, recall, loose leash walking, and more. He is fully housebroken. He is also insanely intelligent. Zen is 24lbs and 1.5 years old. He is fully vetted - microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccines, allergy tested Zen is OK with cats as long as there are multiple supervised introductions & they don’t run/act like prey - otherwise he will chase. TRAINING IN PROGRESS: things on wheels - bikes, skateboards, and trash bins. He is also very protective of house/perimeter, and will alert bark to anyone approaching. Zen’s trainers over at Tired Tails have graciously offered a complimentary private training session and an additional group training class to Zen’s new family. They want to ensure everyone is setup for success and can continue some of the work he’s grown to love. More photos and updates: .facebook/.cchdrescue/ search in posts and photo albums.

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.
