My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Harper is a stunning Australian Shepherd with a striking marbled, brindle coat. Her heart as big as the outback. She loves to meet people and can be a bit overzealous when greeting strangers. Despite her enthusiasm, she is quick to learn and respect boundaries. She is a true sweetheart and is very gentle with children. Very affectionate, social and playful. Her breed is very active: being a working breed, she does have a tendency to herd smaller animals and other dogs when she first meets them. She loves to run, play fetch, and tug-of-war. This breed needs a lot of exercise! As she is getting older, she has gotten lazier and thus, fatter. Would do wonderful in an active household with active kids and a large yard. Is leash reactive so "walking" is not easy if other dogs are present. Knows lots of tricks and loves to perform. Treat motivated! Needs to be brushed out weekly as Aussies shed quite a bit. Bath recommended 1x month. Very patient and tolerant with handling (grooming etc).
