[wolfsoul]

Hmmm...no hints?

I'll say a lab or a golden retriever considering those are the most common.

[momo90291]

[momo90291]

[Uabassoon]

THen I'm going to guess Australian Shephard :)

[momo90291]

Uabassoon got it right. The hint was in her name. She is a blue merle.:) :D ;) :p :cool: :rolleyes:

[Foam]

How cool!
How old is she? Any pictures? Please tell us more about her! :D
I have a blue merle myself. He's a smooth collie though. :) His name is Ozzy.
He'll be six months old on December 29th.

Ozzy will be in agility when he's older. He loves it! We go to the dog park all the time and it has agility equipment there so we practice it. He loves to do it.
His first obediance classes are on January 7. =)

[tikeyas_mom]

you really should not breed her, she is only one years old and still considered a pup. .....

[momo90291]

The vet advised to wait until she is about two years old. You are right; I will wait.:D

Please read before you breed.

I'm glad you're waiting before breeding, but there is a lot to learn before doing so. There is more to breeding than putting 2 dogs together and getting a litter of pups. There is a lot of time and money spending involved. If your dog is registered, join a breed club and get her into shows, conformation, agility, obediance, etc. and see if she meets all of the standards for her breed. While at these shows you will meet other Aussie breeders that will have dogs more qualified for breeding to your girl than the Aussie owner down the street or in the classified adds. The best of the best should only be bred and while she may be the best pet in your world, she may not be the best for reproducing (no offense, she may be a great representative of the breed). Breeding should only be done to improve the Aussie breed. For every pup you sell, an equal number of pups or adult dogs will die in a shelter because no one wanted them. I'm not anti-breeding, but there are too many homeless dogs/pups that need homes but won't get them as long as people are breeding without the education it takes to be a responsible breeder.

So you plan to breed Blue Belle eh? Who do you plan on breeding her to? You might also want to have her and her mate checked to clear the hips/eyes. My dogs are always vet checked(for things like hereditary things, clear the hips and eyes). A also never breed mine till the parents are both Canadian and or American Champions, then I know I'll have good quality pups. If you want to contact me about it, ffel free to do so. PM me for contact info. I'm always willing to help.

i thought you said you weren't going to breed her. :confused:
