Meet Tex!
This lively two-and-a-half-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, weighing around 35 pounds, has a beautiful red speckled coat that perfectly matches his energetic and attentive spirit. Tex is a boy who thrives on connection and loves being right by your side, happily keeping you company throughout the day. He's wonderfully trained and responsive, knowing commands like sit, stay, leave it, and place. He enjoys learning through positive reinforcement and structure and is house-trained and crate-trained, settling nicely when left alone. Daily walks, games of fetch, and joyful runs where he can stretch his legs are some of his favorite activities! 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 is friendly with other dogs and brings 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. 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. He would thrive with someone committed to ongoing, structured training with a professional.
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. He is house-trained and crate-trained. 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 with ongoing, structured training with a professional.
