Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (medium coat) : : Male : : Young Learn more about the Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler.
Name: Buddy (and Lana!)
Buddy, while only 27 pounds, has been momma Lana's valiant protector and the young age of eight months.
Lana, from what we can tell has been the product of a backyard breeder for the past few years. Most recently, Lana had a litter of pups (Lab/Heeler mix) and was abandoned by her previous owner.
With a litter of puppies and one, Buddy, from another litter - the dogs were rescued by a family in Oklahoma. We heard while in foster in Oklahoma the Buddy was Lana's right hand in caring and protecting the 8 young puppies.
The two dogs are very bonded and seek each other out. When letting them out of their kennels in the morning, the two do not use the restroom, eat, drink until they have thoroughly greeted one another.
While Buddy is Lana's anchor, they do have very different personalities. Lana is very quiet, gentle, somewhat timid, and prefers men. While they have only been in foster for a week, we're catching glimpses of Lana's personality very slowly and are excited to see her open up.
Buddy is a force to be reckoned with. Buddy, like most puppies, is very curious. Given the rough start in life, Buddy is very gregarious and loves to meet new people. He will often give Lana a run for her money and wrestle, but Lana is not shy and will gently put him in his place (like a good mother should) when he gets to be too much.
Overall, the two are very fun and easy dogs. They will require a fenced in yard as they do like to run and explore. They don't require or ask for a ton of attention, but love to be loved on. We hope you'll consider opening up your home to this very special duo.
