Description
Dog Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Shepherd / Mixed. Ruby's family would like to rehome her to a knowledgeable new caregiver willing to work with her reactivity toward other dogs. (She is not spayed.) We were told that Ruby was saved from euthanasia from another shelter, but her adopter was not aware of her reactivity toward other dogs. (The breed mix would dictate that it is not an unusual trait.) If you love the challenge that comes from a dog needing lots of training and re-direction to handle reactivity, then Ruby might be a great choice for you. Here is what her current mom says about Ruby: Ruby was given a second chance and has been loved deeply by us. She is the sweetest girl and deserves the best life. I know she will make an amazing companion (more than just inside the house) once some of her behaviors are corrected. She is fine with older children, and may be okay with other dogs, but is very interested in cats, and we are not comfortable introducing her to them." Contact Ruby's family by filling out an application for her and we will forward it to them. "

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.
