Triton is an Australian Shepherd born January 17, 2013.  This boy is very loving and social with people of all sizes.  He walks on a leash and is house trained.   Triton does like to have a job to do, even if that is trying to herd the children. So, he would probably do best with teenage children or none. He is not mean at all to them, he just wants them to be where they are supposed to be. Triton is also great with other dogs.  Triton needs an active family with a fenced yard if you are not active enough to meet his daily exercise requirements. Triton is neutered, and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention. He did test a low positive for heartworms, and we are currently using the slow kill method to treat them. 

The breed is typically highly energetic, requiring a great deal of exercise and attention, although some can be calm and easy-going. An Australian shepherd enjoys working, whether it is learning and practicing tricks, competing in dog agility, or engaging in any other physically and mentally involving activity. Dogs may show reserved and cautious guarding behaviors. They are kind, loving, and devoted to those they know. They are very loyal to their owners, and are rewarding dogs if treated well. The Aussie is intelligent, learns quickly, and loves to play.[11] This means that a bored, neglected, unexercised Aussie may invent its own games. Without something to amuse them, Aussies can become destructive. These dogs require a minimum of 2–3 hours a day of play, exercise, and attention. They thrive in rural, ranch like conditions, and need space to run and play in an urban setting.
