Meet Gracie! This beautiful 5 month old Australian Cattle Dog mix is equal parts adorable and unstoppable—a true wild child with a heart full of love who’s hopeful her future will be full of adventure! Gracie can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a moment and you’ll quickly meet her real personality: spunky, sassy, and always ready to rumble. She’s a playful, silly girl who loves to stay busy and be part of the action. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, learning new tricks, or just finding creative ways to entertain herself, Gracie is all in. As a cattle dog mix, Gracie is smart, driven, and very in tune with her herding dog instincts. That means she can be a bit mouthy and may try to "herd" people by nipping at heels or chasing movement. While this is totally normal for her breed type mix, it’s something her future family should be ready to guide with positive reinforcement training and plenty of appropriate outlets for her energy. She’ll thrive in a home committed to continuing her training, socialization, and giving her lots of exercise and enrichment! Gracie has done well meeting other friendly dogs, but her enthusiastic, rough-and-tumble play style may not be compatible for all dogs. She’d do best with a canine buddy who can match her energy, and we recommend proper introductions to ensure a good fit with any future doggy buddies. With her sharp mind, adventurous spirit, and big personality, Gracie is going to make an incredible companion for an active home ready to embrace all the fun (and a little bit of chaos!) that comes with a growing cattle dog. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick to join you on life’s adventures, Gracie just might be your girl!
