Description:
9-12-13 I took Maddie (colbi) to Alive at Five downtown Sanford last night with 100's of people. She was nervous when we first arrived bands were blaring people yelling. We settled in at Nifty Thrifty Shop on Park where she greeted customers and lounged on the carpet in front of the register. Then we went to dine at the Willow Tree Restaurant where she enjoyed some delicious German food and rested under the table. She stayed at my house last night enjoyed running in the yard and playing with the other dogs and resting comfortably in her crate. This is a great dog, Judy
Colbi was originally adopted as a little puppy from a local rescue. After only a few days with her owner her work situation changed and she was not able to keep little Colbi...we were happy to help this darling puppy find its forever home, which unfortunately fell through for this poor little girl for a second time.
**She is best as the one and only FURRY companion in the household. ***Also good with adults, no small children.
Staff Update 9/9/13: We've moved her into the office with us, and she's being so well behaved! We found out that she knows "sit," "stay," and "no." She will also give you her paw, but not consistently, and not always on command. Now, she does use her teeth a bit when she plays. Puppies often use their teeth when they're playing, and anyone who has ever owned a puppy knows they chew EVERYTHING they can reach. When dogs get to be Maddie's age, that's when you have to start teaching them "no teeth," because they don't realize that they don't have those itty-bitty little teeth anymore.
Australian Shepherds are not the kind of dog to lie around the living room all day or live happily in the backyard with only a 15-minute walk. They need much more exercise than that and something to occupy their mind daily or they will become bored, leading to serious behavior problems. Without enough mental and physical exercise and/or a lack of a true pack leader, they can become nervous and destructive if left alone. Socialize well to prevent them from becoming suspicious of strangers.
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. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years. This breed is often sensitive to ivermectin; however, the dosage for heartworm preventive is considered safe. Be warned that higher doses of Ivermectin are also used to treat mange and caution should be taken.
