Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd. Mama Maggie is a purebred Australian Shepherd that came in to Stray Haven pregnant. We believe that she was a breeder dog that abandoned her when they realized that she was sick. When she came in to Stray Haven she had significant respiratory issues. Stray Haven has spent thousands of dollars in diagnostic testing at our regular vet and at medvet. She finally seems to be on a combination of medicines that are helping her. We do recommend that she go to a home with no other dogs. Or only male dogs that aren't alpha in nature. Depending on when she goes to her new home she may go home with medicine. All of her puppies were DNA tested as purebred Australian Shepherds and they have all been adopted. In addition Maggie has great house manners and his potty trained.

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).
