About Vinny

Adoption Fee: $0
Miniature Pinscher / Australian Cattle Dog
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

We are looking to rehome our doggo Vinny. We've had Vinny for 6 years (he was 2.5 years old when we got him). Vinny wasn't socialized or trained before we got him, and it's been an uphill battle ever since. Vinny is a mixed breed dog with blue heeler, min pin, and chihuahua. Vinny is really, really smart. He learns any trick you teach him, including sitting, shaking, laying, spinning, standing, speaking and staying. His lack of socialization in his puppy years has cause his worst instinctual habits of nipping/biting/herding to take over in his vulnerable moments. He is very protective of his owners, and it has subsequently ended with multiple nipping and biting incidents, including our 20 month old daughter. We believe there is a right home for Vinny, despite his troubles, and we need help finding it! Vinny would thrive in a low traffic household with owners who are interested/experiencing in working with him. He is so loyal and so loving to us, I know he would be the same for his new owners. Household shouldn't have kids, and probably no pets other than dogs. He plays well with other dogs, but does show possessiveness around food and toys/bones. He does not get along with Doodles. Please please help us!
