My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Vixen is an adorable female puppy, an intriguing mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Labrador Retriever, born September 10, 2024 with a heart full of sweetness and a zest for life. Her playful and affectionate nature is sure to bring endless joy and laughter to your home. Vixen's love for belly rubs makes her an ideal companion for families looking for a loving and interactive furry friend.

Things to Know About German Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog Mixes

German Shepherds are renowned for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. They are often used in roles that require discipline and skill, such as service and police dogs. Shepherds are protective and form strong bonds with their families, making them excellent companions.

Australian Cattle Dogs, on the other hand, are known for their high energy levels, agility, and herding instincts. They are intelligent and thrive on physical activities, requiring both mental and physical stimulation to stay happy and healthy.

A mix of these breeds results in a dog that is energetic, intelligent, and eager to please, needing plenty of exercise and engagement.
