Tex

Meet Tex!

Tex is a lively two-and-a-half-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix with a beautiful red speckled coat that perfectly matches his energetic and attentive spirit. He's a medium-sized boy, around 35 pounds, who thrives on connection and loves being right by your side, happily keeping you company throughout the day. Tex is affectionate and loyal, forming strong bonds with his caregivers and showing his love by staying close and patiently waiting for shared moments. He's also friendly with other dogs, bringing a playful, social energy to every interaction!

Ideal Home

Tex would do best in an adult-only home or a home with older teens who understand herding breeds and are committed to ongoing, structured training with a professional. He needs a caring environment where his energy and intelligence are appreciated and where he can continue building confidence in a calm and supportive setting.

Ongoing Health

Tex is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Tex is wonderfully trained and responsive, knowing commands like sit, stay, leave it, and place, and he enjoys learning through positive reinforcement and structure. He is house-trained, crate-trained, and settles nicely when left alone. Like many in his breed, Tex has a strong herding instinct, particularly around fast-moving children. In situations where he became overstimulated, Tex has bitten, and one incident resulted in a bite that required medical attention. He has shown real capacity for growth with consistency and positive reinforcement, and the right experienced home can help him thrive.
