Gayle. Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Meet Shae, she has come from WA to live with us. She is 5 years old, a pedigree Australian Shepherd and for the second time in her life and through no fault of her own, has fallen on hard times and has been abandoned by her owners. Both times she was returned to her breeders who are also Australian Shepherd Rescue in WA. She is a fine example of why to buy a puppy from an ethical and caring registered breeder. She was sold, then rehomed, then rehomed again to us on the proviso that no matter what, if she can't be kept she is to be returned to the breeders, no questions asked.. She is also a testament to a breeder who carefully selects for good temperament.......in her life she has been neglected, unloved, undergone many changes and still she has a happy, sunny, outgoing nature. Yesterday she came from WA to Vic, it was a big day for her and she was a bit bewildered when she came off the plane but today she's getting to know us, she's been haring around the paddock after a tennis ball, snuffling in my hand for treats and following the other Aussies everywhere. Isaak is in love and showing off like a true idiot. At 10 months of age, love means humping a ladies head apparently! Shae is a tiny Aussie, much smaller than my other dogs and her coat has been clipped right back which makes her look even smaller. Her registered name is Borderton Dappled in Shade, she was previously known as Shade but we've given her a new start in life and a slight change of name to signify a new beginning. All the dogs on Mainstreet! Isaak, Shae, Dusty and Benson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle. Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thank you. They are the "great unwashed" at the moment, Shae is the only clean one, she must have had a bath before she came because she smells beautiful....the other definitely NEED a bath, because they smell suspiciously like dogs.

lilli_star Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Oh she's gorgeous Gayle! I'm sure she'll fit right in I've decided that Aussies are on my doggie wishlist, and I'm trying to convince my best friend that she needs one too!
