However, due to health issues and his young playful nature they made the decision to surrender him to find a more suitable family that can keep up with him and truly meet his needs. Asher is leash trained, crate trained, house trained, dog door trained, and eager to please. He is an absolutely amazing young dog who would do best in an active home with a family that can take him on adventures, runs, cycling or any other sort of active job. He loves other dogs and gets along fabulously with every dog we have put him with. He does good with children though he might knock young ones over with his playful excited behavior. He would do best with a loving family, another active dog in the home, and lots of cuddle time on the couch with his loved ones.

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).
