Major Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler & Australian Shepherd Mix Williamsburg, NM

Hi there! My name is Major and I am an adorable little boy at just five months old. Some people say that my photographs make me look older than I am and bigger than I am but really I’m only 23 pounds! And I’m already almost half a year old so I’m probably halfway done growing! I think I’m going to be around 35 or 40 pounds at the most when I’m fully grown.

But I’m in no rush to get there! I like being a baby puppy. One of the volunteers here loves to hold me and cuddle me and cradle me and I just melt in her arms when she does it. I’ve just begun my leash training, and I know that seems a little late in life. But that’s OK because I like engaging in my puppy dog lessons. I love people, and I love learning! And people are the ones who teach me so I’m having a great time at Desert Haven!

I’m also learning from my puppy friend. I have a baby roommate who is only two months old! Can you believe it? He’s even younger than me! My roommate Mac is teaching me that I don’t always have to hog all the food, and that it’s nice and good to share. One thing I’m really good at is wrestling and playing and chasing and romping. I love my play sessions with friends and then when people are around, I always want to snuggle right into their lap and fall asleep.

Ahhhhh laps. They sure make the day brighter! Do you have one? When you come to visit me I’m going to nestle right into yours. Can’t wait!

Love you! Major
