My pretty girl
Must be an aussie thing to always wanna be in your face:

I can attest to that! In fact Jamie broke my desk today tryign to climb into my lap... /sigh

Anyway they're BEAUTIFUL, Kaige of course has always been one of my favorites

I guess I HAVE been away awhile because I had no idea you had a new girl!! She's beautiful!! Is she full aussie or mixed?

Is she full aussie or mixed?

She's all aussie. A lethal white from a back yard amish puppy mill though so she's far from standard. lol She's a great dog though.

Ah, I was going to also ask if she was lethal white. Does she have any problems because of it?

I think she's GORGEOUS!!

She has smaller and droopy eyes but the docs say it shouldn't cause any major problems. She rarely looks right at something (usually has her head in a slightly down position) but the docs can't tell if that's because of her past (she was an outside only dog tied to a chain 24/7 and was slightly abused) or if it has something to do with her vision. She would need further (expensive) tests to confirm that. We are doing some training and loving first to see if that helps because it doesn't seem to effect her actual vision & the docs can't find anything wrong so far.

She is also VERY "slow" with learning. It could be a short circuit in her brain or again due to her past. She'd need an MRI brain scan to see whats going on.
I have emailed some reputable breeders and they say that although there is no real study done on it lethal whites can be, what they call, deaf, dumb &/or blind. Dumb meaning slow to learn, kind of handicapped. So it might be related?

And as you can see her ears are colored so she's not deaf ("most" lethal whites with fully colored ears are not deaf).
