Meet November, a robust and exceptionally clever 3.5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog. This handsome fellow is in his prime-he has the focused intensity and tireless energy ACDs are known for, but with the settled maturity of a dog who has learned the ropes.
 
 He has striking blue heeler markings and an alert, thoughtful expression. 🧐 November is a classic working dog at heart. He thrives on a job, whether that's learning complex new tricks, excelling at agility courses, or serving as your committed shadow during yard work.
 
 He is highly trainable, incredibly loyal, and deeply bonded to his human handler. He sees rules and routines not as restrictions, but as exciting challenges to master! 🏆 Like most ACDs, November needs consistent physical exercise combined with significant mental stimulation to keep his sharp mind occupied. When his workday is done, he loves to settle near his people, often resting his head on a knee, ready for quiet time and gentle affection. ❤️

Get ready to welcome Prince, a delightful and affectionate companion, into your life! This handsome fellow has been an absolute star in foster care, showering everyone he meets-from friendly neighbors to passing ladies-with positive, happy reactions. Prince offers the perfect balance: he's a bundle of playful energy when it's time for fun, but he also knows how to snuggle up and settle down beautifully on the couch for quiet time. He's a great walking partner who moves well on a leash and shows excellent house manners (he's fully house-trained, and his initial marking days are already behind him!). This quiet pup is also a gentleman on the go, waiting patiently and silently in the car during quick errands. 
While he's shown a typical terrier interest in cats through the window, he can coexist peacefully with them, as proven by his quiet first night next to a passing feline.{note: he now is a *recommended no cats* so this might be an old description}
 Prince is ready to charm his way into your heart-could your home be the one he's waiting for?
