Linguini D69523 - Cattle Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Linguini and I am from Arkansas!

Linguini is a sweet and eager to please pup, with a helicopter tail wag and adorable satellite ears. He loves people - his family, visitors, people he meets on the street - he feels everyone is deserving of tail wags and kisses. Linguini is also a big fan of other dogs, and would be happy to have a playmate at home, and would likely enjoy daycare or playgroups.
He has been very tolerant of our cats (although he can't believe they don't want to play with him). I believe he would also do well with children - he does still have puppy energy, so he can be jumpy and mouthy when he's excited, but is easily redirected with a toy.
Linguini has very good house manners (aside from some counter-surfing and shoe stealing), and will settle in his crate at bedtime and while we are away from home.

The Cattle Dog is a diligent and robust herding breed known for its agility, intelligence, and hardworking nature. Originating in Australia, Cattle Dogs are highly energetic and require ample exercise and mental stimulation. With their remarkable problem solving skills and unwavering loyalty, they excel in various canine activities and make excellent companions for active owners. Their distinctive blue or red coat, sturdy build, and alert expression reflect their heritage as versatile working dogs.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
