Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler

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. Chickadee is always in the middle of things with her brothers and sisters. She’ll come over to us and want to be pet and loved, but mostly only when all the puppies are doing that. Mostly, she wants to snuggle up with her siblings. I never see her sleeping alone! My girls say that she is the snuggliest, that she’s the one they go to in order to cuddle up for a nap. At the same time, she’s pretty excitable- she jumps up on me excitedly, for example. When she jumps up on kids or adults, she’s more likely than the other dogs to use her paws on faces. DPS Rescue 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. They will consider children who are over the age of 6.
