About Cyrus Dawn

Cyrus Dawn bursts with energy and charm—this is a smart, quirky puppy who will have you laughing with his antics. He’s sharp, curious, and always ready to play, but he’s not the type to lounge around. He does well with dogs, cats, and kids, although his excitement sometimes shows as big jumps (a work in progress). Toys keep him happy and busy, and he’s not destructive with them. Cyrus Dawn has good crate manners and hasn’t had accidents, though he might let out a little pee when overly excited. Not particularly treat-motivated, he’ll still work for peanut butter or a good cuddle. He’s infamous for forgetting how to use his legs—or simply crawling commando-style when he’s feeling stubborn. If you have a sense of humor and lead an active life, that’s what Cyrus Dawn needs. This Australian Cattle Dog/Lab mix won’t thrive in a sedentary household. He craves daily exercise, training, and someone ready for lively routines and the challenges of a working-breed personality. With structure, patience, and fun, he’ll return the effort tenfold.
