Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (long coat). BLU came to us in need of an understanding family who can be attentive to her dietary needs, help her shed some weight, and keep her mind engaged as well. She is spayed, current with vaccines, and happy to be part of a home with active dogs. She is an Australian shepherd, and if you know Aussies, you know they need a job! Her foster mom recommends a home with older children rather than younger, as she does appear to really like human food, may want to guard it. Her foster mom is working to convince her that dog kibble will be better for her, and we hope her itchy skin will soon be under control with dietary changes. leash, trained, spayed, 70 pounds, 6 years old. good with older children, good with dogs, not sure about Cats.

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).
