Description
DOB: Sept. 1, 2019 SEX: Female COAT: Red Merle EYE COLOR: Blue, 1 eye has heterochromia SIZE: ~45lbs AKC: DN60318502 OFA: Hips, Elbows and Eyes Good CHIC: Clear Genetic Panels Microchipped Ruby is an athlete who loves to run and play fetch! She will be your loyal companion on hikes, swims, walks or you can just sit in the backyard and throw the ball -- she's down for whatever you want! Ruby has always lived with other dogs, and does well with people of all ages from toddlers to elderly. She can be timid around new people or places at first, but all you need to do is pet her or start a game of fetch and she warms up instantly! She is submissive by nature and has never shown any signs of aggression including with food or toys. She is well-trained and knows all basic obedience, leash-trained, rattlesnake avoidance trained and knows some fun tricks like roll-over and sing too... Ruby is very eager to please and highly intelligent, making her the perfect dog to teach new tricks or give her a job to do! It breaks my heart to have to rehome her, but I am a newly single mom and now taking care of my senior mother and I just haven't been able to give her the attention and exercise she deserves. Please pick up in Phoenix -- she does great on cards rides!

Overview:
The Australian Shepherd, despite its name, actually originated in the western United States during the 19th century, bred primarily for herding livestock on ranches. These striking dogs are medium-sized with a sturdy build, often sporting captivating merle coats (blue or red) and piercing blue, amber, or marbled eyes, sometimes with two different colors (heterochromia). Known for their exceptional intelligence and high energy, Aussies possess a strong work drive and thrive on having a "job" to do, whether it's agility, obedience, or extensive exercise. Their temperament is generally loyal, affectionate, and good-natured with their families, though they can be reserved with strangers. Due to their high exercise requirements and need for mental stimulation, they are best suited for active families or individuals with ample outdoor space and a commitment to training; apartment living is generally not ideal. Potential owners should also be aware of common health concerns like hip and elbow dysplasia and certain eye conditions, including Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA).
