I have three Australian Shepherds and although they are old now they are by far still active and remarkable dogs. I have been unable to post for sometime after posting on the Australian Shepherd thread. It is alway great to meet others who also have Aussie. I have a web pages on mine as they or now retired cattle dogs. My daughter in Warrenton,VA. has 5 which have all won awards in herding as my dog Dinkum and his mom Kate. If you'd like to meet my little Aussies please check out our web pages: [http://pages.ivillage.com/iriserskine ] Once again it's great to meet others with both Aussies as well as Border Collies both breads or wonderful dogs!
