Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. Marco is a 10-month-old Cattle Dog mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At 56 pounds, this handsome boy is carrying a few extra pounds and could benefit from shedding a little weight—but that just means he'll be thrilled to have a family who enjoys walks, adventures, and helping him stay active! Marco is an incredibly sweet and friendly dog who loves meeting people and making new friends. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys playing with other dogs, and has a fun, happy-go-lucky attitude that makes him a joy to be around. Whether he's out exploring or relaxing by your side, Marco is simply happy to be included. Rescued from Georgia, Marco is now looking for a family to give him the loving forever home he deserves. He is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. If you're looking for a friendly, playful companion with a sweet disposition and plenty of love to give, Marco may be your perfect 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.
