Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd. LOWER FEE! Such wonderful puppies these Aussie mixes are! Darby is a 5-month-old Aussie mix who needs some help though. Born in rescue with her 7 siblings, Darby was a happy girl, living and playing with her littermates. Transporting her to her adoptive home several hundred miles away was a traumatic experience for Darby, and she arrived terrified of everyone she meets. Because she expresses her fear by lashing out, we feel a home with no children is appropriate, at least until she gets past this period. We are hoping for a home in the PA/NJ area, as we work with a trainer in Doylestown, PA who will continue to assist to acclimate her into her new home. (Working with your own trainer is also an option. we are confident that this is fixable with a little work) We need a special, patient person for this girl while she works through her issues. (update: 1/24/25 ME) " " Adoption Fee $150- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport, if needed: $100 **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **

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).
