WELLINGTON Australian Shepherd & Cattle Dog Mix Lincoln, NE

Meet Mr. Wellington! This handsome little puppy doesn’t need formalities, a top hat or cane or a cup of tea. But, we do think he’s quite a distinguished puppy. First, you can’t help but notice that face. The fuzzy wuzzy face with his brownie eye patch. Second, Wellington likes to be petted. And please don’t stop or he’ll paw at you until you resume. We think he wants you to know, petting is on his time-table and not yours. But trust us when you we say that you won’t mind his little pawing. He has cute little bear cub paws. And last, Wellington is a thinker. We’re not sure what is going on in that cute mind of his but he when he stares at you, we’re wondering what is going through his little puppy mind. Perhaps he’s mentally telling you want toy to pick up for him to play with.

We do highly recommend puppy classes and/or obedience classes for him. Aussie’s can grow into higher energy and are quick learners so teaching them manners would be ideal. And, it helps with bonding too! We think you’ll enjoy it with any of the puppies in this litter. They also are great at agility. If you’ve never thought of that, take a fun class and learn just how smart these little puppies are.

This breed is known for herding so they may try herding small children or other animals. If you are concerned about that or herd nipping as they grow up, please consider another breed of dog. Check our profiles for dogs are good with children or are not herding breeds.
