Pistol Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Manassas, VA

Are you looking for a cattle dog with a high entertainment value? Well, look no farther, this guy’s a hoot! A real Pistol! This big golden gem of a Cattle dog is wonderful, loving, and devoted to his people. He loves attention, games and companionship. He’s smart, he’s charming, and has a sense of humor; a real clown.

Pistol is thoroughly devoted to his people but can be selective about the dogs he hangs with, and he has a high prey drive so he’ll do best as an only pet. Like many cattle dogs, he can be mouthy on occasion, so he’s best suited for older teenagers to adults. Pistol has lots of energy but adjusts to his surroundings – high energy gets high energy, calm days on the couch gets a chill dog, which means he’ll do well in a home that prefers to leave their hiking to the weekends. He does GREAT on a leash and responds well to directions, even when he’s meeting new dogs (while leashed). He’d love an active human companion or three to take him on hikes, down to the river and on regular adventures. Pistol LOVES to play fetch and he LOVES LOVES LOVES to go for car rides.

Pistol is housebroken, up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. Pistol is a big boy, about 60 to 65lbs.
