Adopt Stetson a Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - with Black Mixed Breed (Medium) /

Location:

Magnolia, TX

Description:

Stetson is a 4-month-old Idaho Shag pup who weighs 10lbs. Stetson would do best in a home without cats and small children, as his mix of breeds means he'll have a high prey drive and may try to herd small children by nipping at them. Stetson would excel in a home where he is a working dog. Stetson tends to guard his food and treats, so would likely do best in a home without other dogs, or in a home with experience training dogs with guarding behavior. Stetson is fully vetted and ready to find his forever home. The Idaho Shag is a dog that many Idaho ranchers insist is the only "breed they'll ever have working the animals on their spreads. In fact, cowboys (and yes, we still have cowboys in the west) are loyal to the breed, and at a recent branding in the area, most cowboys had an Idaho Shag. The Idaho Shag (also known as the Pahsimeroi Fuzzy) originated in the eastern side of the Idaho, and while precise origins aren't clear, the consensus is they are the result of crosses between Airedales, Border Collies and Australian Shepherds. This scruffy working dog with the frazzled hair is famous for its grit, stamina, versatility, biddability, hardiness in cold weather, and herding ability, but also for its hard headedness. Despite their average 40 pound weight, Shags don't back down from the animals in their charge. In fact, at first, livestock don't take them seriously. At first a ram or stubborn steer dismisses a Shag at its own peril. Typical Shag behavior is to let the beast take a sniff, but then grab it by the nose as a way to say, "Dude, you will respect me. The dogs are known to be used to tree bears or hunt coyotes, but they are also loyal family companions, as well. Indeed, Shag puppies listed on sites like Ranch World are snapped up almost immediately, such is their demand. Due to their traits they need to be in an adult only home with room to run or land. No apartments or townhouses. Adoption fee is: $450 ALL adoptions require a completed application, vet check, home check and final contract.
