Meet Mylo – a 4-year-old, neutered, 44-pound Cattle Dog mix with a tongue that just can’t be tamed and a heart that’s even bigger. Mylo is a one-of-a-kind pup with a silly smile, a loyal heart, and so much love to give. He’s smart, affectionate, endlessly goofy, and ready to find a family who sees his magic. If you’re looking for a lovable sidekick who will keep you laughing, snuggling, and moving, Mylo might be the perfect match for you.
Ideal Home
Mylo would thrive in a home with a moderately active family that has a yard or access to one for running, sniffing, and sunbathing. He'd love a few good walks a day or fetch sessions to burn energy and keep him happy. He'd also appreciate a family who will give him tons of love, belly rubs, and attention, and who embrace his quirky personality and celebrate his uniqueness. Mylo would do best in a home with older kids (10+) who are steady on their feet and understand how to interact with an active dog. To be safe, a feline-free home is best.
Ongoing Health
Mylo has a perma-blep due to his tongue being a little too long for his mouth. A vet has confirmed there’s nothing wrong; he was born with extra tongue. This doesn’t cause him pain, but he occasionally needs a little extra hydration. He also has a slight protruding bone at the base of his rib cage, which is also not a cause for concern.
Training & Support
Mylo is fully house-trained and has been trusted to stay loose when unsupervised. He can pull on leash when excited, so a no-pull harness or Gentle Leader may help make walks more enjoyable. He is still working on improving manners like jumping and treat-taking. Like many herding breeds, he thrives on routine and benefits from clear communication and a bit of structure. He may occasionally flinch at quick movements or new objects, so a patient home that understands his background and lets him settle in at his own pace will help him feel his best. He is very smart and responsive to redirection.
