About Nyla’s Breed:
The Pit Bull/Cattle Dog mix—often called a Pit Heeler—is a dynamic and intelligent hybrid that blends strength and loyalty of the American Pitbull Terrier with the Cattle Dog’s work ethic and agility—making them excellent companions for active families or individuals. These dogs are extremely affectionate and known for their strong bonds with humans. They need regular exercise and mental stimulation and respond well to consistent training and thrive in dog sports like agility and obedience.
Meet Nyla, a 3-year-old Pit Bull/Cattle Dog mix with a heart as big as her personality!
Weighing in at 50 lbs of pure affection and playful energy, Nyla is the kind of dog who’ll wrestle with her canine pals one minute and snuggle up on you like a lap dog the next—completely unaware of her size!
Nyla’s Best Traits:
• Fully house trained and trustworthy when left alone—no crate needed
• Loves kids of all ages and is gentle and affectionate with them
• Gets along beautifully with other dogs and even the resident cat (who she adores!)
• Great on leash and enjoys her daily walks
• Playful, cuddly, and protective—she bonds deeply with her people
Quirks & Personality:
• A total toy thief—she’ll collect them all if you let her!
• Medium to high energy, especially when wrestling or romping around
• Loves women, but can be wary of men at first and may bark or growl, but warms up with patience
• Jumps on furniture during playtime, adding to her goofy charm
• Prefers to keep her food to herself, so mealtime boundaries are helpful
Nyla is a “girl’s girl” who thrives in a loving, active home where she can be both your adventure buddy and your cuddle companion. She’s protective, playful, and packed with personality—ready to be the heart of a family who’ll embrace her quirks and celebrate her love.
Looking for a dog who’ll steal your heart (and maybe a few toys)? Nyla’s waiting to meet you.
Nyla’s Ideal Home:
• Best with an active owner/family who can meet her physical and mental stimulation needs
• A home with female energy or one in which males are patient and let her come to them.
• A home with children (not necessary, but she does love kids!)
• A home with or without another dog to play with, and even a cat!
