Some day all pets will come from adoption fairies...........

Kitties and Big dogs need love too !!!!!! 

Danielle is a Toy Australian Shepherd born April, 15, 2013. So, she has just turned 1 year old.  She came from a breeder and has some of the shyness associated with that situation.  However, this little gal does not run from us when we pick her up and she has a gentle, sweet temperament. She is crate trained and gets along well with other dogs.  She will need work with leash walking.  But, with time and patience, she will make a great companion to an active person. Due to her size, we do not recommend her for a home with small children.   Danielle is spayed, heartworm negative and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention. 

Toy Australian Shepherds are wonderful dogs.  However, they are not the dog for everyone.  It is always good to understand what a breed was originally bred for.  Each breed was created for a purpose, a specific job, and will retain a lot of those natural instincts.  Those instincts may not fit into your lifestyle.  These little Aussies are highly intelligent, sometimes creative and desire a lot of attention.  They are very loyal, loving, eager to please and always wanting to be with you.  While some can be constantly active, others are content to be active when you are and relax when you relax.  They are not a breed to put outside in the yard to live alone with little attention.  They need to be an active part of the family.  Left on their own they will find things to do that could be destructive or even fatal.  Most Miniature and Toy Aussies are very affectionate with their owner yet known to be reserved around strangers.  This should not be confused with shyness.  Once they are introduced to your guest they may warm up although always showing their loyalty to their owner.  Some may share kisses with the new friend.  Others that are more reserved may not want a stranger to give attention to them though should never show aggression.
