Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler x Shiba Inu

Menlo Park CA

Description

The Bird puppies are 12 weeks old. They came to the US from Mexico in the middle of January as just week old babies. Adoption Fee: $650. Mom is Magpie and she is a 50-60lbs Shepherd-Shiba-Cattle Dog kind of mix. We suspect there were a few different fathers as well for the litter. We expect the puppies may range from 40-60lbs. Dove, Sparrow, Starling, Jay, Falcon, Chickadee are all living in one foster home together. He is the most mellow of the dogs, often not even choosing to play when he can just lounge with one of us. He loves giving puppy kisses (especially to human ears! But he also can be a little bit nippy to those same ears). He is the one who is the first one to come running over to me, bounding over to come say hello. He is more patient than the other dogs-- he won’t really whine or bark, but he just melts when you hold him. He is more okay than the other dogs not being “in the fray.” He’d rather be on a lap than tugging over a toy. If you rub or scratch his tummy he will stay in your lap for hours. We will only consider a home that has had a dog in the last three years. This requirement is not met by fostering/petsitting, roommate's pets or having a family pet while growing up that remained at home. We will consider children who are over the age of 6.
