Species group: Mixed Breeds

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The pairing between a Bluetick Coonhound and an Australian Cattle Dog isn't all that common, but you may occasionally encounter this mix in a rescue.

Appearance / health:
While all mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, it seems to be a matter of chance whether your Bluetick Coonhound / Australian Cattle Dog Mix looks more like the Coonhound, more like the Heeler, or more like a blend of both.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, a Bluetick Coonhound / Heeler Mix is going to need a lot of activities to channel its energy. Some individuals may be tempted to roam.
