If you remember anything about ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’, you can probably guess why Boo was named the way he was. (I couldn’t, I read it when I was twelve.) He may well be the second dog I’ve posted who was named after a character from the book, with Atticus as the first. (Or possibly he was named after the Greek philosopher? Who knows.)
Bet he gets awfully cold in San Francisco, if he goes out without the sweater.
He’s definitely pretty shy… every time I moved into shooting position he went and hid behind mom.
I figured out the Chinese crested part right away. Boo’s mom said that other people usually get the Australian Cattle Dog part, but I would never have figured that out on my own.

I know it’s been over a year, but if you ever want anymore pictures of Boo, I’ll be glad to send you some. –Susan
I would love some! If you have any online, you could just leave some links in a comment here. Or, if you prefer, you could email them to me: alang dogsofsf.com (with the @ in the obvious place).
We also have a crested/heeler mix, ours take more after the ACD than crested.
One acted very crested(ie wasnt too bright), then we got backyard chickens, he has decided he is the guard….now with a job he remembers hes part heeler & actually smart-lol
He used to “forget” basic commands(sit, shake hands, lay, etc)….once he got a “job,” now he remembers it all. Who would have known-lol.
Good dog, great behavior, & now smart too 😉
That is amazing. It could be that he was just bored silly when he didn’t have a job. I’ve heard of dogs where that was the case.
Got any pictures of your pup online? Link them here, I’d love to see them!
