Have you ever wanted a cattle dog, but thought they were just a little on the small side? Well, we've got just the cattle dog(mix) for you. Jay Jay is turning 11 months old on 01/25/25 and currently weighs around 50 lbs and approximately 20 inches from paw to shoulder. Thanks to an Embark test of his brother, we know he's mostly an Australian Cattle Dog with a bit of Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, and, interestingly, Great Pyrenees. Online calculators put his adult weight anywhere from 68 to 85 pounds.
Jay's herding style is more consistent with his Border Collie side, with very little in the way of nipping. He is a true velcro dog, loving to stay near his person. He's sensitive and brilliant, picking up new training almost instantly. He completed his beginner, intermediate, and most of his advanced level training. He is very treat motivated and his trainer has stated any local adopter is welcome to go back through his training classes, free of charge, to enable bonding with his new person and reinforce his confidence building.
Like many cattle dogs, he is a bit slow to warm up to people. Multiple meet and greets are required with all family members, including furry ones, in order to ensure a smooth transition. A quiet place where he can decompress is a must (can be a different room, or just a low key household). A fenced in yard would be ideal.
Jay is fully vaccinated, current on preventatives, microchipped, and neutered. His potty training is going well and he is fully crate trained, though, due to his size, an extra large or larger crate is required. Jay is medium to high energy. When bored, he will happily find some way to entertain himself. He is looking for a patient and loving family willing to work with him to allow him to blossom into his full potential.
