Special Needs: Michelle is a wonderful pet and loves people, is very caring towards her pups and also likes the foster family and the pets in the foster home which is hard to do when you are a nursing mom. She is extremely loving and does not quite understand that she is not a lap dog. She has not been crated and except for being extremely happy, is very well behaved. We do not have cats just several large and small dogs, old and young and she is nice and repectful of them.

Description:
We were contacted by Seminole Animal Control because they had this beautiful dog about to give birth and they hoped we would take her. We did, and the very next day she had a litter of nine puppies. Michelle is a wonderful pet and loves people, is very caring towards her pups and also lieks the foster family and the pets in the foster home which is hard to do when you are a nursing mom. She is extremely loving and does not quite understand that she is not a lap dog. She has not been crated and except for being extremely happy, is very well behaved. We do not have cats just several large and small dogs, old and young and she is nice and repectful of them. We would be thrilled to have someone sponsor them to help offset the cost.

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, despite the misleading name, the Australian Shepherd is not Australian at all, but was developed entirely in the U.S. to work as a herding dog on ranches. It is possible that the name was derived from one of the dog's ancestors. The breed's principal forebears were most likely Spanish dogs that accompanied the Basque shepherds and herds of fine Merino sheep exported to both America and Australia in the early days of the colonies. At some point it probably crossed with Collie stock. It has only recently gained recognition as a distinct breed. Its many talents include, retrieving, herding, watchdogging, guarding, police work, narcotics detection, search & rescue, agility, competitive obedience and performing tricks. Australian Shepherds are easy going, perpetual puppies that love to play. Courageous, loyal and affectionate, they are excellent children's companions that are great with active children. A devoted friend and guardian, for they are naturally protective. Very lively, agile and attentive - they are eager to please, with a sixth sense about what the owner wants. Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent and easy to train. Though aggressive when at work with livestock, the Aussie is gentle with human friends. Australian Shepherds needs lots of exercise and a job to do, as the breed is very intelligent, active and easily bored. They can become nervous and destructive if left alone too much without exercise. They are naturally suspicious of strangers, so they should be well socialized as puppies. Working lines of Australian Shepherds may be too energetic to be suitable pets. Some like to nip people's heals in an attempt to herd them. They are quiet workers, unlike some breeds, which are bred to bark constantly at livestock. This breed is not usually dog aggressive.
