Dagmar is Pet of The Week at Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society

He's Australian.

Dagmar is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 1-1/2 year old, 38 pound, Australian Cattle Dog mix. Dagmar is named after Dagmar County in Australia.

When he’s in his kennel, Dagmar barks to greet guests. For a medium sized dog, he has a big bark.

When he sees a leash and realizes that he gets to go for a walk, he sits. If you sit on the floor with him, Dagmar will sit on your lap and lean into you.

He’s okay if you want to hug him, but when you’re done, he’ll probably walk away and shake it off.

Because of his enthusiastic personality, he will probably do best in a home with no kids under 8 years old.
