CHIEF - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Rottweiler Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Chief is a sweet, easygoing dog who generally does well with other dogs and enjoys playing when invited. He can be a little skittish around men, but with patience and trusted people nearby, he warms up and becomes comfortable approaching and sniffing. Chief has lived successfully with another dog and does well around puppies. He has had limited experience with cats; when he encountered a kitten, he carried it gently without injuring it, though his interactions with cats should still be supervised. Chief is potty trained when needed and, despite previously living on a cable, does not tend to seek escape when off leash.
