As a working-breed Black Mouth Cur mix, Mustard is packed with energy, curiosity, and goofball charisma. He thrives with adventure—whether you’re into hiking, training sessions, or just daily playtime, Mustard will always be game. He’s crate trained, house trained, and handles being left alone well. His leash manners are solid, and he’s not destructive if you give him free run of the house. Mustard tips the scales at around 58 lbs and is two years old. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. With people, he’s silly and affectionate, always hoping for cuddles after a good romp. He doesn’t do well with cats and needs consistent, positive socialization to reach his full potential with dogs—he’s not aggressive, but his excitement can overwhelm both dogs and people.
