Speaking of small dogs...this past weekend at the performance group Graham and I belong to, there was a special treat...someone in the group whom I had never met before has a rare breed called the mini australian shepherd. She was the cutest little thing, not much bigger then a pomeranian. She was a tri, and her little docked bottom was cute, kinda funny looking too. Is anyone familiar with this breed? I had heard of them but had only seen one once at a rare breed show many, many years ago...and I never got a chance to see the dog really run since it was a conformation dog. This weekend I was able to see what the little mini aussie could do on the agility course. She FLEW! She had a super temperment, too.
