Stella - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Coeur D'alene, Idaho

Stella is a spayed female Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix. She is 3-5 yrs old. She weighs 33#s. She has the cutest fluffy little quarter tail. This dog is just a love! She gets along well with most other dogs, but prefers not to be jumped on or crowded by hyper ones. She will lay down the law! Very polite and well mannered. Somebody took time to train her. She knows all her basic obedience is comfortable in the crate, housebroke, quiet and clean. She would make an excellent addition to a quieter home with an adult couple or person rather then a raucous home with children. She's fine with calm, kind well supervised children but I think she'd be happier just visiting them.
