Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Dover, NH AVAILABLE Callie Approx 31lbs, 2 years old, good with dogs and kids. Callie is so sweet. She has a drive that shows on walks but is more of a medium energy cattle dog. Needs work on leash manners. She is settled with a couple hours of exercise and enrichment a day. Crate-trained and house trained. She loves chew toys, fetch and playing with water. She can be cuddly and loves belly rubs. She is neutral to delivery vehicles, outdoor cats and horses! Living with a cat may be possible with a gradual intro. Callie loves having her crate as her personal space for meals and sleep. We use it for rotation with the resident dog in her foster home. She's biddable and food motivated. Has been introduced to markers and basic training. She is great up close with her foster brother, whether in home or on walks, but is leash reactive towards strange dogs and will need counter conditioning and socialization. Callie has met a few dogs and played well in a group before. She may chew if she is bored and on occasion may give a jumpy greeting. Callie is truly an adventurer, making her a flight risk. A fenced yard would be excellent for her but we do not want to eliminate possible homes that may otherwise be careful in double leashing her. We will provide a slip lead, and secure harness for her. She's an amazing rescue who will be great as a hiking partner, sporting dog or a member of an active family. Follow her on sweetnspicydogs IG Callie is spayed, microchipped, on monthly preventatives Questions about Callie can be sent to her foster home at alinandogsgmail Apply to adopt Callie at acdra/adoption-application

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.
