Banjo - Shar Pei and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Introducing, Banjo!

At 40 lbs, Banjo is a pint sized pup that thinks hes one of the big boys. Our best guess is that hes a cattle dog/sharpei mixed with some other surprise breeds tossed in.

Banjo is about 3 years old and was found as a stray. Sadly, we dont know what his life was like before ending up in a rural shelter. What we do know is that he is dog friendly, people friendly, loves his walks, play times, is crate trained, housebroken, and is learning leash manners. Hes young, energetic, and still very puppy-like.

Banjo has already mastered sit and is very food motivated. Treats are life! New tricks? He should learn quick if treats are involved.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The Shar Pei is a distinctive breed known for their deep wrinkles and blue black tongue. Originally from China, these medium sized dogs are loyal, independent, and protective of their families.
