Xena is a 14-month-old husky and cattle dog mix living in Kingwood, TX. What you see is what you get: smart, high-energy, and quick to learn, but she’s not a couch potato or a laid-back companion. Xena’s mind is always working, and she’s constantly looking for a way to be involved in whatever you’re doing—often taking matters into her own paws if left unsupervised. She’s crate trained and doing well on her leash skills. Xena is great with dogs of all sizes, but she isn’t a fit for homes with cats or other small animals, especially without supervision. She needs an active household and an experienced handler willing to keep her engaged and continue her training. Xena would do well as a companion for sports or outdoor adventures like hiking, running, or dog sports such as dock diving or barn hunting. She gets along with other dogs and children, as long as everyone’s prepared to keep up with her drive and energy. Xena’s looking for more than a backyard—she wants a busy, purposeful life.
