Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Location: Rockland, ME AVAILABLE Coco Meet Coco – What an adorable cattle dog mix! She is about 12 weeks old and about 12 pounds. She is an energetic dog who loves to play with other dogs and is also able to auto-entertain. Because she is a puppy, sometimes she auto-entertains with your shoes! She is learning to play with humans and enjoys a good snuggle once she gets sleepy. She is wicked smart and learning so much each day. Coco would likely do well with scent work, agility, or some other form of work to use her intelligence. She is learning to come when called and is working on housebreaking but still has some accidents. She is learning to walk on a leash. She sleeps all night in a crate with no messes. She even puts herself to bed in her crate. She won’t leave cats alone so a home without is recommended. She has enjoyed playing with young children. Cattle dogs are high energy dogs who know they are equal members of the family. She would be a great running/hiking buddy. She would not be happy being left in a yard by herself. She would love to have a dog sibling. She was found as a stray in Georgia with her mom and siblings. She is up to date on immunizations, has been spayed and been on flea and tick medicine as well as heartworm preventative. She is being fostered in midcoast Maine.

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.
