Jay Massengill - Australian Cattle Dog & Australian Shepherd Hybrid Litter - 10-12-2024

This lean ranch dog is renowned for being the cowboy's herding dog of choice. They have an irresistible urge to herd, and their intelligence has made them a staple in the rodeo circuit. Despite the name, Australian Shepherds were originally bred in California when ranchers admired the herding dogs of Basque, and assumed they were of Australian descent. Their loyalty and intelligence makes them one of the most sought after breeds in the world.

This muscular and athletic crossbreed is directly related to the Australian wild dog, the Dingo. They are very alert and intelligent, and have a reputation for outsmarting their owners. They love to work, and are excellent hunters, love chasing things, and of course, herding. They are very loyal, but can be wary of strangers.
