About Cattle Dog Dogs

Cattle Dogs are compact, sturdy herding dogs bred for driving livestock over rugged terrain. The term encompasses several breeds and mixes known for their intelligence, endurance, and strong work ethic. They are alert, energetic, and deeply loyal to their handlers.

Adopting a Cattle Dog means gaining an active, devoted companion who thrives on having a purpose. They are intelligent problem-solvers who need mental and physical stimulation. With the right outlet for their energy, they are loyal, affectionate family members.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Cold with ice storms and occasional heavy snow that can make sidewalks treacherous. Protect paws from salt and ice with booties or paw wax, and keep walks brief on the coldest days. Ice storms are more common than in cities further north, creating slippery conditions that require caution.

Spring

40°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Severe thunderstorms and occasional tornado watches are a real concern from March through May. Have a pet-safe shelter plan and ensure your pet is microchipped with current contact information. Between storms, the warming days are wonderful for exploring Forest Park’s trails and open spaces.

Summer

68°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid conditions with heat indices often exceeding 100°F make summer challenging for outdoor pet activities. Limit exercise to early morning or late evening, and always carry water. The Gateway Arch grounds and Forest Park offer shaded areas, but avoid prolonged sun exposure.
