Pepper is a mix of several breeds with Rottweiler and Staffordshire being her highest percentages, and also including small amount of ACD. She is very healthy- on her genetic testing (Wisdom panel) she was tested for 30 different genetic diseases, risks, and conditions and had clear results on everything. She is about 85 pounds and a medium-stocky build. She is exceptionally intelligent, loyal, attentive, and trainable. She is the most person-attuned dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing; she reads, understands, and communicates with people extremely well and has an impressive level of situational judgement. She seems to most display the behavior and personality characteristics of Rottweiler and ACD. We are wanting puppies who will be as similar temperament, behavior, and intelligence-wise to her as possible, and after some research it seems like Blue Heeler would be the breed that compliments her traits the most. We will be keeping her entire litter in our family. She is never aggressive to other dogs, but she is very dominant; even when she has been in heat and around intact males she is not submissive to them. We don't see her being aggressive in a traditional mating, but our concern is that it may be a traumatizing experience for her, so with that we are leaning towards taking the IF route. She has never been bred and this would be her first and only breeding- we cherish this dog and are beyond impressed with her and want to keep her line in our family.
