Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). Smoke is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd. His current family is looking for a new home for him. He is a wonderful, fun loving dog but he just doesn't have the ability to live in a home with children. Smoke is a herding dog and when you try and herd the kids instead of sheep you tend to get into trouble. Smoke needs a home without any kids, just adults that have the time to exercise and play with him. He loves people and is good with other dogs. He is up to date on all his vaccines and neutered. If you would like to meet Smoke please fill out an application from our website.

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).
