Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat). Location: Naples, NY Pixie is a 9 week old female purebred looking Cattle dog puppy who was surrendered with her whole family to an overcrowded shelter in Georgia. Pixie has average puppy energy mixing playing with her sibling and with her older foster brother equally well. She is crate trained at night and can sleep all night without any messes. At night, she sometimes puts herself to bed in her crate. Daytime house training is ongoing. Pixie loves other dogs and would love a canine companion. She is also currently doing very well with cats both younger ones and seniors. Pixie has a brave and adventurous spirit. She figures out things quickly and is eager to greet neighbors both human and canine. She has been described as just "melting into you" when she first meets someone. She loves to cuddle on your lap and is very attentive to all your movements.Pixie is looking for a home that will keep her mentally and physically stimulated. Experience with the breed is preferable and the best home is one in which she will not have to be in a crate for much of the day. Photos of her parents are available. She will be adopted out with a spay contract. Pixie is about 13 pounds, microchipped and UTD on vaccines.

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.
