Jordan Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Australian Shepherd Mix Nashville, TN

Meet Jordan. This boy's first name could actually be Michael. He is so athletic and agile, it's quite possible he could be a professional athlete if he had opposable thumbs. Sadly for us, Jordan is lacking thumbs and we're going to have to find another way to make a fortune.


Jordan is a 1 year old old Heeler/Aussie mix who is happy, bouncy boy. He's about 40 lbs and should fill out to be a good medium sized boy. He is great with other dogs and LOVES to play so he needs a canine buddy who has the same energy level and will enjoy play time. Jordan has a lot of pluses especially for a puppy his age, he's crate trained, potty trained, walks well on a leash and knows sit, down, paw and rollover. He's working on stay but let's just say sitting still isn't exactly his forte. Jordan currently lives with cats who are dog savvy and does well. He is good with kids but he's very bouncy so he will knock over the real little one. This is a really nice active puppy looking for an active family.

Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process.

All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be.

Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:
1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).
2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.
3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.
4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.
Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.
Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.

All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training.
Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
