Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). Romeo is playful, likes to hug, and has terrific energy for fun adventures! Romeo first came to us last winter with an equally fetching female partner. By the next morning, there were six new puppies in the kennel with them! Romeo and his wife raised a very nice pack of puppies at Red Dog Ranch Rescue. Once the puppies were all adopted, Romeo came back to us. We can't imagine why Romeo has been passed up for all this time, but we invite you to come meet him and give him a chance to be an integral part of your happy family

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).
