: Awesome Merle March 19, 2005, 11:04:29 AM

Here is my "Heza Awesome Blue "Merle"", isn't he a cutie, he is a big boy for his breed.  They called him Chunko in the litter.  He is at 88.5 pounds down from 100.  Now if I could only lose that much weight! :-\

Join a dog rescue.  I did dog rescue for Aussies for a bit.

Just go to google, and enter the following as your search

"YOUR_STATES_NA ME australian shepherd rescue"

For me it's "California australian shepherd rescue"

I found the two very best dogs in the world doing dog rescue, but I got them from Samoyed Rescue.  Here's the organization I work with:

I have an Aussie.  Her name is O.S. Cookie. The O.S. stands for One Smart, and sometimes for One Silly or One Stupid, but the Cookie stays the same.  She is going to be 7 in June.  She is a Blue Merle and I got her from Northeast ARPH.   She was supposed to be aggressive, and she did have some issues, but we started school with a wonderful trainer and Cookie is terrific.  She really was and is, insecure.  We have come a long ways, but every now and then the past pokes it's head in and we have to reassure her again.  We have trained her in Agility, but chose not to show her as it is extremely stressful for her.   She is a beautie and we love her dearly.

Our neighbors used to have a newfie named Bear.  Your little one reminds me of her.  She was a great neighbor dog who used to come for visits - right into the house sometimes.  I know you will enjoy your Bear very much.

Meet our beautiful Red Merle Aussie, Savannah!  We rescued her from Animal Services a year ago and she's an absolute love!  We adore this funny girl and have spoiled her rotten...  She even sleeps in the middle most nights!  We have a 3 pound Chihuahua as well, and they are never far apart from each other.  Hooray for Aussies!  ;D

I just rescued my guy last weekend from So. Calif Aussie Rescue......ve ry smart, and a bit of a smartazz as well  ;D  He's starting to get to know my two cats....my 4 lb cat went nose to nose w/my 80 lb beast....and he did what doggies do....he got up and sniffed the cat's butt....I think the cat jumped 4 ft. in the air w/a priceless look on his face!  Chance (my doggie) did a little dance like he was proud of himself.  If I only had a video.  I'm still laughing!   :D
