Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Dover, NH Meet Callie! Callie is a young 2 year old around 40-45lbs. Kid friendly, excitable with other dogs, house trained and crate trained. Her energy level is medium-high for the breed. She has an off switch. Callie has a drive to be worked, training is a lot of fun for her. She is being taught loose leash walking, neutrality with dogs on walks and other foundational skills using verbal markers. Adventurer at heart, Callie can be a flight risk. A fenced yard is strongly suggested. She is being walked with a slip lead. A martingale collar with a locking leash should be safe as well. Callie would be happy as an only dog or with a dog who is well trained and can be a good role model for her. She will need to meet them before going home. She loves the small children in her foster home; though I recommend bigger kids due to occasional jumping. She takes treats gently. With affection she may have a giddy jump or get down and shows her belly for pets when you start petting her head. She does show prey drive towards small critters. Her person/ family will be eager continue her training and ready to provide structure to her new life. In order to continue learning, she’s going to need a good adopter who understands her drive. Callie is shared on instagram sweetnspicydogs Callie is on monthly preventatives, she will be spayed 6/16 and will be ready to meet applicants when she is recovered (10-14 days after surgery) Lyme positive, taking a preventative course of antibiotics right now. Adopters must be willing to meet her prior to adoption. 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.
