This is Yogi Bear, named because he has no tail and when he climbs the car tree he looks like a bear. He is also a polydactyl (6 toes on each foot). I rescued him as a baby at 1.75lbs and he is now a giant 17lb cat-dog.
Kiki (6yo) is enjoying this spot in the sun. Petting prompts biscuit factory mode to turn on.

I have two cattle dog mixes. First is a tripod I rescued from a shelter from OK. He was hit by a car and lost his back leg as a result. He's about 6 now and slowing down a lot this last year. He is an ACD x Aussie shep mix (black). Wisdom panel showed he was from two purebred lines! We have done a lot of hiking but his days of heavy exercise are done. We will still do adventures but shorter easier ones.
Just a month ago I rescued a cattle dog mix from a reservation in SD, she is red and about 7 months old now. Unsure how big she will get, she's about 30#. Her wisdom panel came back 18 breeds but she is half heeler. I've no doubt she's half heeler either! She is learning very fast and I hope to get her on hikes soon.
