This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Here's the Hardy litter! This awesome foursome is made up of 3 males and 1 female. Mom appears to be a Cattle Dog mix who is very sweet and we expect no different from her pups. We think they will be medium to large in size as adults. Typically Cattle Dogs are extremely active and need constant mental and physical activity. Zeus and his litter mates will need obedience training as they come to you needing all your guidance, training and love. This will take someone who has the time, patience and energy to help them be the dog everyone wants around. The Hardy litter had a hard start to life. Mom gave birth to 12 sweet puppies and only 6 survived, the remainder were shot by a man whose parents' property was adjacent to the people who owned mom.

Zeus Hardy is a handsome boy who has beautiful black and white markings. Although he and his litter mates did not have early exposure to many people or situations, he thrives for attention and to be loved. He is not timid or shy, he loves being around other puppies as well as adult dogs of various sizes and ages. He's house trained - he'll sit or paw at the door when he needs to go out - and he walks well on the leash. He's learned "sit" and "down" and is working on "stay" - he'll need continued practice with these (he's super smart, but has a short attention span). He has not been around cats, but he's been with children ages 4-11 years and did wonderfully with them - all kisses and no jumping - and we think he will make a great family dog. He does fine on car rides. If you would love to give Zeus a home with lots of love and attention, please fill out an application and get ready for lots of sweet puppy kisses!
