Lemon Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Garden City, NY

Hi, my name is Lemon. I was born on June 20th in North Carolina. My mom is a pitbull terrier and my dad is a full-blooded blue heeler. I weigh approximately 11 pounds.

I am the only girl in the bunch! I am sweet, and sensitive, and every morning when we go out to do our business I like to find a leaf in the yard and bring it to my foster mom, tail wagging, as a gift. I can be outgoing, and LOVE to wrestle with my brothers, but don't care for loud noises like motorcycles and alarms. They make me feel cautious and sometimes I will hide for a minute and watch what's going on.

I was the first to learn to sit and honestly, I pay the most attention. I love to cuddle with my foster mom and brothers, and be held. I am sleek like a seal and have soulful eyes to match! I love to run and play but am the first one to find my foster mom's lap for a nap, too. I am a big sweetie with a big heart.

(Foster mom note here: All three puppies have lived with cats and other dogs, and have been around children. They might grow as large as 40-50 lbs but we are unsure. They know 'sit' and 'no' and are highly food motivated. They respond well to training and are all smart, sweet, good natured dogs who all love to cuddle when calm. They are in process of potty training and are using puppy pads or going outdoors with 75% success. They do bark! Mostly when playing or at first when left alone but they are not particularly quiet dogs. They sleep together in a pen at night, and while they take 15 minutes or so to settle down, sleep comfortably through the night. The puppies have had each other their whole lives up to now, so anyone seeking to adopt them, especially without other dog companions in the home, MUST understand they will need time and support to adjust to being on their own, during the day or at night. It is also recommended that renters consider that the puppies look strongly pittie, despite being half cattledog, and be prepared for potential breed discrimination in housing.)
