About

Woody Male Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler) Mix 10 weeks (born 04/20/26) Current weight 13 pounds. He will be a medium sized dog when full grown. Woody is a sweet curious puppy. He loves to be around his people. His breed is high energy, so he is looking for a family who can help him work off that puppy energy and keep him entertained. Cattle dogs are very bright and motivated and need outlets to channel their intelligence. You need to plan on keeping him stimulated, busy & tired. Consistent and positive training is highly recommended with cattle dogs so early training and socialization is a must. Their tendency to nip and bite can be an issue in homes with small children because they may want to herd them with nips when kids play rough. Potential adopters need to do their research so they understand the breed and the training requirements. He loves to play with toys and plays well with his littermates. He is working on pad training in preparation for regular outdoor potty training. He will need continued training in his new home. He has been working on "sit" "no" and "come". He currently sleeps all night quietly in a puppy pen and his foster mom is hopeful that will transfer over to crate training. Woody will be available for adoption July 3rd after he has been neutered, microchipped and received his 2nd round of puppy vaccinations. He will need a 3rd & 4th set of vaccines once he is adopted.
